Inflammation and your Health


Did you know that inflammation is a natural response by the immune system to protect the body against harmful irritants? However, chronic inflammation can lead to many health problems such as autoimmune diseases, heart diseases, and cancer. One significant contributor to inflammation is the consumption of inflammatory foods. 

The top 5 inflammatory foods that should be limited in your everyday diet are sugary foods/beverages (sodas, mocha chino lattes, candy), trans fats that are found in partially hydrogenated files that are used in most processed foods, refined carbohydrates such as white bread and pasta, processed meats such as deli meats and sausage, and excessive alcohol consumption. 

The impacts of inflammatory foods are digestive issues, weight gain and obesity, joint pain and arthritis, accelerated aging, and increased risk of chronic diseases. 

This doesn’t mean to remove these foods completely. Enjoying everything in moderation is key! Just reducing the overall consumption levels of inflammatory foods will promote your overall healthy well-being! So go ahead, put a little peanut butter on that protein pancake and enjoy!
