ANTI–INFLAMATORY DIET

  • DRASTICALLY REDUCE YOUR GRAINS
  • DRASTICALLY REDUCE YOUR DAIRY INTAKE

The main precursor in all grains that drives our bodies into inflammation is Omega-6 Fatty Acids. Omega-6 Fatty Acids, when consumed in high quantities (American Diet), results in an inflammation that the body can’t handle. To make matters worse, almost all our meat products are fed with grains instead of grass, causing a high level of Omega-6 Fatty Acids to be present in our steak, chicken, turkey, pork and even farm-raised fish. Grass-fed animals have a much higher level of Omega 3 Fatty Acids, which drive the body away from inflammation. We need to reduce or eliminate processed food, which have a man-made fat called trans fat. It is also important to reduce our dairy intake.

Nutritional research has shown the proper level of Omega-6 to Omega-3 in our diet should be 2 to 1. The average American diet is approximately 15 to 1. To correct this imbalance, we need to severely reduce, if not eliminate, our consumption of grain products (bread, cereal, pasta, rice, etc.) and increase our consumption of Omega-3 Fatty Acid foods (leafy greens, grasses, vegetables, fish) along with proper supplementation to restore normal health. Also, you can consume Omega-3 eggs.
