An anti inflammatory “diet” is not extreme by any means. Avoiding processed foods and sugar as much as you can and eating whole foods the way we used to when I was growing up benefits your entire body. Eat more organic fresh vegetables and buy grass fed beef and organic chicken…wild seafood and avoid GMO foods. Avoid refined flours and sugary drinks…they are not doing you any good.

Read your labels on products and you will find that most have some type of sugar in the ingredients along with a bunch of ingredients that are unpronounceable. Sugar, by the way is measured in grams and we don’t use the metric system in the US. This is a Big Agriculture ploy to deceive you into not knowing how much there really is.

Food has been processed so many times to make it convenient as pre packed meals, it’s almost unrecognizable. The fresh vegetables are in your supermarket and there are more nutritious products available than ever before.

Goggle anti inflammatory diet and you will get a glimpse of what you should be eating. Start reading and get a couple of cookbooks about whole foods or true foods . Cook from scratch…it’s not any more time consuming or involved prep.

Going this route will go a long way to eliminate the obesity epidemic and all the chronic diseases associated with being overweight. Every organ in you body will thank you and you will know it by the way you feel and look.

Food is medicine and it’s very powerful. Exercise is important but you can’t outrun a poor diet. You have to do the research and it doesn’t mean you have to forgo a pizza or a decadent piece of chocolate cake occasionally. It’s how and what you eat the other 90% of time.

Yes, you can reverse a lot of the medical problems and illnesses. The FDA, the agricultural and pharmaceutical industries are not your friends and are not interested in your health and well being.

In addition….most Doctors of any discipline don’t know enough about nutrition to offer advice. I think Nutrition is a minor course given in medical schools today and just glossed over.
