Inflammation

6/3/2023

​When we stop and think, most of our  modern chronic illnesses have an inflammatory issue attached.  If we don’t have an inflammatory disease we definitely know someone who does.
 
These are just a few examples:
  • Arthritis
  • Colitis/UC/Crohn’s
  • Asthma
  • Type II Diabetes
  • Diverticulitis
  • Cancer
  • Myocarditis
  • IBS
  • Endometriosis
  • Eczema
Any condition that ends in itis is an inflammatory disease. 
 
This week, I’m going to focus on what increases inflammation in the body.  The things we might be doing daily without fully realising the damage they are doing.  There are so many things in our modern life that can cause inflammation, that’s probably why we are seeing so many people with inflammatory disorders.
 
Here are some things you can try to avoid or reduce, that can cause your inflammatory symptoms:
Foods
  • Fried foods
  • Processed sugar
  • Highly processed foods
  • E numbers
  • Excess red meats
  • Cured meats – nitrates
  • Refined oils and trans fats
  • Refined carbohydrates/grains – white bread/pastries/pasta’s
  • Tomatoes – in some people
  • Dairy in excess
  • Fizzy drinks
  • Alcohol
 
Lifestyle
  • Stress
  • Lack of sleep
  • Immobility
  • Exposure to toxins
  • Gut issues 
 

  • Can you switch the bag of crisps with your lunch to some cashew nuts/fruit/protein ball?
  • Can you switch your cereal for porridge/an omelette/smoothie bowl?
  • Can you switch out your lunchtime sandwich for a wholemeal wrap/soup/salad?
  • Can you switch out the refined grains/potatoes at dinner for brown rice/quinoa/sweet potato?
  • Can you cook with rapeseed or coconut oil instead of other oils?
 
 
The great thing is that some small changes, some you would hardly notice, can make a big difference.  I have seen the reversal of inflammatory issues, over and over again, when the person decides it’s worth making the changes.
 
Look out for next weeks article where I’ll look at what you can do to reduce inflammation.
