Leading a healthy, balanced lifestyle is important to managing multiple sclerosis. Diet and exercise can have a huge impact on overall health - hear from MSers about how regular exercise has benefited them, or how changes to diet or taking vitamin supplements can help. If you need recommendations on accessible, low impact forms of exercise such as yoga or pilates, then the community has a wealth of experience to share. Some MSers have reported benefits from going vegan, dairy free or gluten free. Why not ask the Shift.ms community for advice and learn how you could take a proactive approach to managing your MS symptoms.
