Peripheral neuropathy is a disorder of the nerves leading to numbness, tingling, and, in some cases, debilitating pain. Although there is no definitive cure, several preventative measures can help to minimize the risk of developing peripheral neuropathy.
First of all, vitamins and supplements are important for maintaining healthy nerve functioning and should be included in one's daily regimen. Secondly, injuries to the body must be treated promptly and should never be overlooked or neglected. Keeping blood glucose levels within a healthy range is also important for preventing peripheral neuropathy since diabetes commonly causes nerve damage. Besides this, regular exercise can help to maintain blood circulation and protect against certain varieties of neuropathy.
Finally, it's important to note that certain neurological illnesses are genetic; if a close family member has experienced symptoms of peripheral neuropathy then extra precautions should be taken before beginning any new diet or exercise program. Ultimately, prevention is key when it comes to managing the risks associated with peripheral neuropathy. Taking proactive steps now can save an individual from physical distress or even disabilities later on down the line.
