Chapter 1- What Is the Anti-Inflammatory Diet and What Damage Does It Cause?
Inflammationis what happens when the body responds to injury, but sometimes person gets atype of inflammation in the body that causes various illnesses like cancer,heart problems or diabetes. But some people believe inflammation can becountered through an anti-inflammatory diet, which is similar to aMediterranean diet and eating style.
WhatMakes Someone Get Chronic Inflammation in the Body?
Beingoverweight can contribute to there being too much inflammation in the body. Itcauses infection and disease that then causes problems with sugar regulationand so the person gains weight. Then, the body continues on into a pattern thatis hard to stop and even more inflammation occurs. Foods eaten today by manypeople don’t help, as a diet of processed food, saturated fat products, friedfoods, refined sugars and trans fats makes even more inflammation to occur inthe body.
Ifyou want to avoid contributing to the process, you have to get rid of thesefoods in your diet. That means you can’t eat things like white bread orcrackers, potato chips, fast foods, processed luncheon meats, margarine, highfructose corn syrup, high fat cheese, sugar, and vegetable shortening products.

So,What Can You Eat?
Ifyou want to take on an anti-inflammatory diet to help get rid of this cycle ofinflammation in the body, you have to start eating certain kinds of foods andintroducing certain lifestyle changes. Foods such as omega-3 fatty acids (i.e.fish, walnuts, and flaxseed, etcup) help, along with lean meat, soybeans, tofu,nuts, whole grains, fresh fruits, veggies, legumes, beans, and certain kinds ofherbs or spices like garlic, chili pepper, turmeric, basil, ginger, red pepper,cinnamon, cayenne, oregano, and paprika to help give your foods some flavor.You should also drink green, oolong or white tea and red wine is also ok todrink.
Tofollow the Anti-Inflammatory Diet you need to eat nine servings a day of fruitand veggies, especially those with vitamin A, C, E and beta carotene. Plus oilslike olive and canola are good. Lean meats can include poultry, and certainkinds of seafood like cold water fish like sardines and salmon. Eggs with addedomega 3s are ok, as well as seeds, and avocados. You can also eat darkchocolate for a treat.
Culturesthat are known to eat like this have been studied to show they have lessdisease and inflammation in their bodies. However, some of these diseases arealso due to aging and can bring pain and suffering to people as they get older.Plus, other factors like smoking, drinking excessive alcohol, auto immuneissues or genetics can also play a factor in causing bodily problems likeinflammation.
Benefitsof the Anti-Inflammatory Diet
TheAnti-Inflammatory diet is touted to some degree by the American HeartAssociation since they say you should have a diet rich in these types of foodsto prevent heart disease. It may also help to prevent problems like Alzheimer’sand cancers. It may also help with lowering bad LDL cholesterol in the body. Inthis diet people should eat half their calories from carbohydrates, about 30percent of their foods should be fats, and about 30 percent of the foods shouldbe proteins. The diet also provides a goodly amount of fiber, with at least 23grams a day in a sample menu, whereas the government guidelines say we shouldget 22 to 34 grams a day.
Thediet also has the advantage of making people not feeling hungry and gives ahigh feeling of being full and satisfied, possibly due to the high amounts offiber.
