You Can Conquer TMJ - Ideas and Recipes
Statistically, there are about ten to twenty million people suffering from TMJ (TemporoMandibular Jaw Disorder) at any given time in the United States. This means, by my reckoning, that about one in twenty people suffer from this disorder to some degree. This is an incredible number of people, yet although there is speculation as to the possible causes of the disorder, nothing is certain. Even less is certain about the cures. Perhaps because TMJ is not life-threatening, like cancer or heart disease, it has not garnered all that much attention.
TMJ sufferers exhibit a variety of symptoms. Some feel intense pain, while others feel none at all. Some grind and clench their teeth; many do not. Some develop the condition due to facial/head injuries. Could it be your bite? Maybe your spine is misaligned. How many doctors must one consult to find an answer? There is not even consensus as to the best way to treat the condition, so it is more than a bit frustrating for the person unlucky enough to be the one in twenty.
I am not a medical practitioner. I am not a dentist. I am a person who has TMJ, and one who has read all the same literature that you probably have. I was just relieved to find TMJ wasnt a terminal condition!
I discovered something, though, in the course of suffering from this ailment. I discovered that, to a great extent, TMJ can be controlled. For some people controlling TMJ is a non-issue because their case of TMJ may be fleeting, or they only experience periodic attacks. For others, for whom TMJ becomes a dreaded burden and a depressing fact of everyday living, I am here to tell you that the pain and discomfort of TMJ can be controlled even eliminated. I am not saying that the condition will be totally cured, but it can become better than just bearable. You may even forget you have it until you sit down to eat the wrong foods, anyway.
Experts do agree that one of the best things you can do for your jaw if you have TMJ, is to lessen the stress on the jaw joint. Does that mean you get to give in to a diet of milkshakes and margaritas? Only if you want to. There are plenty of excellent recipes you and your entire family can enjoy that are delicious, nutritious "easy to cook...easy to chew," that will help ease the stress to your jaw joint when you eat.
It worked for me, and it can work for you too. Your food can be your medicine, and your medicine can be your food!
