Inflammation develops in six primary Systems:
Brain and nervous system( brain fog, anxiety, depression, poor memory)
Digestive System (Leaky gut, diarrhea, stomach pain, bloating, heartburn)
Liver, Kidney and Lymphatic System ( Swelling of arms, legs or belly)
Endocrine System (thinning hair, dry skin, anxiety or mood swings, low sex drive)
Musculoskeletal System ( Joint stiffness/pain, muscle pain, fibromyalgia)
Immunsystem (MS, Arthritis, Celiac disease, Hashimoto)
In which of these systems do you experience symptoms?
As we said in the Newsletter before, cooling inflammation is the main key for any disease. Besides stress, lack of exercise and exposure to environmental toxicity, food is the main factor we need to look at in dealing with inflammation.
Depending on the severity of the symptoms you need to avoid all food that can cause inflammation for at least a month and then slowly reintroduce those foods and see how they react in your system.
On the list of foods to avoid is:
All grains, dairy products, sweeteners, inflammatory oils (like corn, soybean, grapeseed, sunflower, vegetable), eggs, nightshade vegetables, and legumes.
That being said, not for every human being these foods cause inflammation, but one doesn’t know unless you left them out for a while and then slowly reintroduce them one by one.
If you want to read more about this topic I highly recommend to read the book: “The Inflammation Spectrum” by Dr. Will Cole.
