The anti-inflammatory diet can make you feel great! "How," you ask. By cutting out or significantly
reducing your consumption of pro-inflammatory foods. When these foods are cut from your diet,
inflammation in the body reduces taking stress and strain from the joints and organs.
While following this diet your chance of weight loss also goes up. "How does this happen," by
reducing your consumption of grain and wheat products, sodas, and other simple sugars that
cause excess weight.
I'll start this discussion by telling you what extra inflammation in the body causes; chronic pain,
arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, allergies, acne, Alzheimer's disease, heart
disease, cancer, hypertension, depression, and diabetes. However, this is a shortened list there
are many other conditions out there caused by inflammation.
In short summary, the fewer inflammatory foods we eat, the less inflammation we have in the
body.
Background Information on Pro-Inflammatory Foods:
Grains, refined sugars, partial-hydrogenated oils, vegetable and seed oils are from modern man.
These foods have been around a short time; hence, obesity and disease are on the rise. Humans
are genetically adapted to eat fruits, veggies, nuts, lean meats, and fish, foods not related to
chronic diseases.
Why Do Grains Inflame?
Grains contain a protein called gluten. Gluten is the main cause of many digestive diseases, such
as celiac disease, also contributor to frequent headaches. They also have a sugar protein called
lectins which has been shown to cause inflammation in the digestive system. Grains also contain
phytic acid which is known to reduce the body's absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc.
Lastly, grains contain high amounts of fatty acid biochemicals called omega-6 fatty acids which do
cause inflammation. Fatty acid biochemicals known as omega-3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory
and found in fresh fish and green vegetables.
What Should I Eat?
Anti inflammatory foods
-All fruits and vegetables (raw or lightly cooked)
