Inflammation is a major component in most chronic medical conditions, therefore it is advisable to eat a good amount of food that reduces inflammation and reduce the consumption of food that contains inflammatory ingredients.
THINGS YOU SHOULD EAT TO REDUCE INFLAMMATION
Healthy fats such as fish and healthy oils should be a part of your diet. The fat in these types of food, omega-3-poly-unsaturated fat or omega-9-poly-unsaturated fat, reduces inflammation. However, if you add these type of oils to your diet, you should be mindful about other caloric fat intake if you are also watching for weight management. Veggies in abundance!! Dark leafy greens, especially help reduce inflammation.
THINGS YOU SHOULD LIMIT:
Most food you buy that is ready to eat from a factory or restaurant contain inflammatory ingredients. In addition, many processed breads, cereals, and products made of corn also increase the inflammatory response, especially if they contain wheat. Wheat causes a special type of inflammation in the intestines called celiac disease in some individuals, but may also trigger inflammation of non-celiac type.
THINGS YOU SHOULD AVOID COMPLETELY
You should absolutely not consume food that has been chemically altered or genetically modified. This type of food has a very negative effect on your overall health creating a toxic storm, especially over time, creating chronic conditions that can take years (decades!) to overcome. Things such as margarine, many packaged snacks, fast food, ready made cakes or cookies often contain more chemicals than nutrition!
