Activa PT_Ankle and Foot Pain

Relieving Ankle &Foot Pain Naturally A sprain or strain to your ankle involves the overstretching or tearing of ligaments, tendons or connective tissue. They occur when a joint is forced beyond its normal range of motion, such as turning or rolling your ankle. Symptoms of sprains and strains include pain, swelling and difficulty putting weight on your foot.

Foot and shin pain can come on from many different causes. The most common causes develop from changes in the way you walk, unsupported footwear, long term standing, walking or running.

DIRECTIONS With a sharp knife, slice the eggplant and zucchini length-wise into long, thin (1/4-inch) sections. Spread the vegetable slices out onto a kitchen towel and sprinkle them lightly with kosher salt. Let stand for 15 minutes to allow some of the excess liquid to drain off. Pat dry. Lightly coat a 6-quart crock pot with nonstick spray. Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce on the bottom of the crock pot. In a small bowl, beat the cottage cheese together with the eggs. Create the first veggie lasagna layer in the crock pot as follows: 1 layer of eggplant “noodles”; one-third of the cottage cheese; one-third of the bell peppers and onions; one-third of the mozzarella; 1/2 cup tomato sauce. Create the second veggie lasagna layer, this time using zucchini: 1 layer of zucchini “noodles”; one-third of the cottage cheese; one-third of the bell peppers and onions; one-third of the mozzarella; 1/2 cup of tomato sauce. Create the final layer: 1 layer of eggplant “noodles”; remaining cottage cheese; remaining bell peppers and onions; 1 layer of zucchini noodles; 1/2 cup tomato sauce; remaining mozzarella. Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the eggplant is tender. Re-cover, turn off the slow cooker, and let stand until any remaining liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. To serve, slice and scoop desired portions, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and herbs as desired. Foundonwellplated.com
