So what is an Anti Inflammatory diet - and why should you care?

Think of inflammation... it's a nasty sounding word, but don't freak out as it can be used for good and bad. Your body needs the inflammation response to heal wounds, and yet to much inflammation can cause serious heath issues. 


This is a list of some of those health issues from Wikipeida:
Examples of disorders associated with inflammation include:

  • Acne vulgaris
  • Asthma
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Chronic inflammation
  • Chronic prostatitis
  • Glomerulonephritis
  • Hypersensitivities
  • Inflammatory bowel diseases
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease
  • Reperfusion injury
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Transplant rejection
  • Vasculitis
  • Interstitial cystitis

Ready to reduce the risk??? 

When looking to improve our health we want to decrease the bad inflammation in our bodies. The old saying is so very true: "You are what you eat". So here are some foods that can help reduce bad inflammation in the body.

A great website from an outstanding practitioner, Dr. Josh Axe, gives a great model of an Anti Inflammation or AI diet.

Here is another link for Anti-Inflammatory super-foods:

I have started weening myself off wheat grains, and adding in foods that will lower inflammation in my body.
