Great Effects Of Anti Inflammatory Foods

By Annabelle Holman


You cannot expect to stay healthy if your diet is based on junk food. Junk food and similar highly processed foods cause inflammation, and this affects your general health condition in so many ways. It is very likely that it will cause different chronic diseases, cardiovascular in the first place. Besides, inflammation increases pain, especially arthritis pain. Anti inflammatory foods can greatly improve your health condition.

Junk food and highly processed food usually contain large number of calories, but very little valuable nutrients your organism needs for proper functioning. This type of food quickly increase your blood sugar level but it doesn't supply your organism with essential vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. That's why it causes inflammation.

Anti inflammatory food may reduce inflammation, if eaten regularly. Typical foods on the anti-inflammatory diet are all fruits and vegetables, fish and seafood, non-fat and low fat milk and yogurt, soy, almonds, nuts and other food rich in minerals, vitamins, Omega-3 fatty acids and healthy mono-saturated fats. When it comes to vegetables, some say you should avoid so called nightshade vegetables, for example tomato, potato and eggplant.

Fruits are especially valuable. Brightly colored fruits and berries are rich with anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants fight free radicals and help you stay healthy and young, and protect your skin and beauty as well. Mono-saturated fats contained in avocado, for example, are also highly valuable, especially if you need additional source of plant-based proteins. Low fat meat is also allowed.

Healthy fats contained in nuts, avocado, seeds, olive and canola oil and some other foods are essential for preserving physical and psychical health. Your brain needs them to be able to work. Low-fat meat, fish and seafood are great sources of these healthy fats and Omega-3 amino acids. Calculate our calorie intake, but include these valuable foods in your diet.

Great anti-inflammatory sources of protein are fish and seafood. Avoid canned and processed fish, choose fresh, frozen or even smoked instead. Tuna steak is ready for only few minutes, it tastes great and you can prepare it really simply in your kitchen. High quality salmon and cheap sardines are equally beneficial, as long as you don't deep fry them.

Drink water, spring or mineral one, natural fruit and vegetable juices, herbal teas or even coffee. Don't add sugar, but use stevia instead. Don't drink sweet industrial beverages. The most valuable fruits and vegetables are dark green and brightly colored ones. Avoid adding salt in vegetable juices. One banana a day is perfectly enough, it is really rich in calories. Apricots contain vitamin B-17, and are really healthy, even when dry.

This type of diet is really very healthy one. It contains fresh ingredients, very low levels of sugars, fats and refined food, in fact, it is very similar to Mediterranean food. Almonds, fish, olive oil, fresh fruits and vegetables, very small amounts of lean meat. This food is easy to prepare, full of valuable nutrients and highly beneficial. You are allowed to drink some coffee, it has similar effect, too.
