If plantar fasciitis is an overuse injury where damage outpaces repair, how can we reduce microtrauma and also facilitate healing?
Since plantar fasciitis is thought to be caused by an overuse injury in which the rate of damage from repetitive microtrauma exceeds the body’s healing capacity, there’s a two-fold way to prevent it: (1) Decrease microtrauma injury by avoiding excess body weight, prolonged standing, and excessive running, and, at the same time, (2) boost healing, which may involve lowering LDL cholesterol levels. I wrote a whole book on that! It includes the recommendations encapsulated here, such as minimizing the intake of foods that raise cholesterol, while also maximizing the intake of foods that actively lower cholesterol.
I’ve tried to answer all your questions and make it easy. You may want to check out my doctor-Greger-in-the-kitchen style video (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-lower-cholesterol-with-dr-gregers-portfolio-plus-powder-recipes/) where I mix up a batch of my Portfolio Plus Powder and dive into my book Lower LDL Cholesterol Naturally with Food (https://nutritionfacts.org/book/portfolio/). (It’s available as softcover, e-book, and audiobook, and, as always, all proceeds are donated directly to charity.)
