The Benefits Of Anti Inflammatory Foods

By Annabelle Holman


Your health, as well as your weight, greatly depends on your diet. Inflammation increases risk for cardiovascular diseases and other chronic diseases, speeds up the aging process and may cause more intensive pain in case you suffer from different chronic diseases already, or arthritis. Anti inflammatory foods have very good effect on overall health condition, and may also relief pain.

It's not so hard to recognize inflammatory food. It your meal is based on highly processed food, sugar, fatty meat and other trans fats, this cannot be good for you. This type of diet will affect your organism on many different ways, and you will probably have problems with your weight as well. Refined sugar sharply increases your blood sugar level and causes inflammation.

Anti inflammatory food has entirely different effect on your body. It reduces inflammation and ensures proper functioning of your entire organism. Strangely, but it also decreases the level of pain. Anti.inflammatory diet is based on fresh and unrefined ingredients. Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain bread, low-fat and non-fat milk products, preferably organic, walnuts, soy and all other food rich in minerals, vitamins, anti-oxidants and healthy fatty acids.

Fruits are especially valuable source of anti-oxidants, in the first place brightly colored ones such as berries. Fruits usually don't contain much fat, but avocado is a great source of mono-saturated acids that is absolutely beneficial for you. Nuts and seeds, for example flax-seeds, walnuts and almonds, are valuable sources of highly beneficial substances your body needs to stay healthy.

Although fats are calorie rich, you need to include them in your diet as well. Your body needs them to be able to work properly. Your brain, for example, needs them especially. You should choose healthy fats, such as those contained in olive or canola oil, but in reasonable amounts. Remember that some other sources of fat are included in your diet, for example nuts and seeds, meat and fish.

Most fish and seafood can be used as very good anti-inflammatory protein sources. Tuna, salmon and sardines should be on your menu at least once a week. Use fresh fish and prepare it yourself. Processed and canned food has inflammatory effect, and although you don't have to avoid it completely, highly processed and fried food is always a health hazard.

You may drink different herbal teas, mineral or spring water or even tap water, but you need to avoid sodas and similar beverages. They contain high levels of sugar, and processed sugar is your enemy. If you need something sweet in your beverages, use stevia instead. Drink vegetable and fruit juices, without added sugar. Choose dark green and brightly colored fruits, and be careful with calorie rich fruits such as banana.

Avoid all processed food, especially snacks, white bread and sweets. Anything that contains sugar, too much salt and white flour is bad for you. Choose legumes, whole grains, seeds, walnuts and other healthy food. You can safely consume herbal teas and even coffee. Coffee seems to have very nice effect on your organism, when it is consumed in reasonable quantities.
