Time To Boost Your Immunity Against Viruses

What you eat plays a significant role to prevent or trigger inflammation. Chronic inflammation is a very common denominator of virtually all disease including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity.

Therefore, avoiding inflammatory foods is just as important, if not more so, as eating anti-inflammatory ones.

As a family, processed foods of all kinds tend to be pro-inflammatory. This is largely due to ingredients like processed vegetable oils, high fructose corn syrup, and other food additives.

Here is a general list of pro-inflammatory foods:

•Refined sugar, processed fructose and grains(as a general rule reduce your fructose intake to 20 grams/day)

•Processed meats

•Industrial vegetable and seed oils such as peanut, corn, and soy oil

The food that we consume is a form of medicine. Make wise choices and it will pay off. Next time let us discuss anti-inflammatory foods to eat to help the body fight inflammation and discuss how important our gut health is.
