This article is all about inflammation.
Some of our bodies are already on fire inside, and some of our habits are the same as throwing gasoline on the fire.
This is what I will explain today -. how to put this fire, or at least recover under control
Just to reiterate, inflammation is the body’s biological response to try to protect themselves. It aims to remove the harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells and irritants; this is the first step in the healing process.
inflammation triggers an immune response. Initially inflammation is beneficial because it is used for protection but a lot of the time inflammation can lead to further inflammation (chronic) leads to severe health problems.
The five signs to look out for inflammation are pain, redness, heat, swelling and loss of function!
What are the causes of inflammation in the first place?
chronic infections
Obesity
Environmental toxins (food, water and air)
physiological stress
intensive training / endurance
physical trauma
Age
Autoimmune disease
If you notice in the media for environmental toxins is food.
In this article I want to talk about the anti-inflammatory diet.
Each food we eat gets a response from the body.
There are some foods contained in the diet of many people today that lead to increased inflammation. You can probably guess what types of foods are the (fake foods, fried foods, processed foods, refined carbohydrates, coffee, alcohol).
The anti-inflammatory diet contains many foods that I recommended for other purposes that help prevent and reduce inflammation.
There is a very natural way to improve your health and recovery from illness or injury.
Without inflammation to worry that you’ll be much healthier and less risk of picking up some very damaging long-term illnesses.
So what makes the anti inflammation diet?
This diet consists of a variety of natural foods packed with nutritional value. There is no processed foods and everything is healthy and wholesome
Here are the key nutrients that are contained in the fight against inflammation diet.!
Inflammation Fighting Fats
healthy fats comprise a large proportion of anti-inflammation diet. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids have been proven to be anti-inflammatory, so I recommend you to eat as much of these foods to help fight inflammation.
Fish is an excellent source to stock up on sardines, salmon, herring and anchovies. Other good sources include extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil and nuts.
antioxidant rich fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are full of antioxidants and vitamins, some of these vitamins are found to be anti-inflammatory. Some of the best sources of vegetables include onions, spinach, sweet potatoes, peppers, garlic, broccoli and other green leafy vegetables.
good fruit and berries to look out for are blueberries, papaya, pineapple and strawberries. They are packed with high antioxidant content that is great about such a plan.
high quality protein
Which protein you eat is very important. There is a big difference between cheap value meat and grass-fed organic meats. Meat cheap value will most likely be packed with hormones and pesticides, leading to inflammation, while grass-fed organic meat will help fight against inflammation.
Choose your meat properly and go for grass-fed omega-3 packaged versions as often as you can. Use this rule when it comes to eggs as well. Steak, fish, eggs and poultry and beans (legumes).
These three types of foods are the cornerstone of anti inflammation diet.
also herbs and spices, including ginger, turmeric, turmeric, oregano and rosemary contain important substances that reduce inflammation and help limit dangerous free radical production.
Food to avoid at all costs on an anti inflammation diet
just mentioned foods that can lead to a reduction of inflammation that keep you healthy. These foods I’m about to talk about are the foods that cause inflammation and you really should avoid these
This is a balancing act
pro-inflammatory foods: ..
Processed foods
Fast food and takeaway – in particular fried foods
Omega 6 fats – you can find them in many oils such as sunflower and soybean oil.
bread – more wheat and gluten containing products
All trans fats
The sugar and flour
Bacon and sausages
Margarine
Tips from your anti-inflammation Plan
The first step, as with many good plans are starting to cut out foods that are holding you back.
So if you regularly eat any of the above foods just mentioned, then you have to start cutting. Eating these types of foods on an anti inflammation diet completely defeats the purpose of what you are trying to do and ruin your results.
Even if you are not suffering from inflammation, but want to change your eating habits and following this type of diet is always good for you. It will increase your health and greatly help fat loss.
The next steps would be to begin to introduce anti-inflammatory foods in your diet. Start by adding omega-3 healthy fats. Beginning to use of the extra virgin olive oil with vegetables, coconut oil in your kitchen, start snacking with nuts instead of chocolate bars and chips and start eating more fresh fish .
Supplementing with a high quality fish oil supplement is also very important.
I hope you already eat a lot of fruits and vegetables in your diet, if not then you should start adding them now.
One of the great things about fruits and vegetables is the variety
There are literally hundreds of different varieties of fruits and vegetables available to us, all packed with goodness and FLAVOUR
Drinking green tea – .. Drinking green tea was found to have anti-inflammatory benefits. The flavonoids in tea have anti-inflammatory compounds that have been shown to reduce the risk of certain diseases. Beware that green tea contains caffeine
Experiment with herbs and spices -. Bring some life to your kitchen and start to mix things up. Many people when cooking add salt, sugar, mayonnaise and other easy options. Start adding the garlic, ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper and other herbs and spices to write some actual flavor meals without sacrificing the safety of the food
Cut foods that cause problems. – If you find that you are intolerant to certain foods or if you have problems after eating certain foods, then cut completely. Many people get bad reactions to wheat and gluten containing foods so try cutting these foods and see if you notice a difference. Eliminate foods you suspect the cause of the problems one by one and you will soon discover the culprit!
I think you are now almost ready to go.
Thanks for reading.
