9 Foods That Fight
Chronic Inflammation
The
majority of serious progressive diseases hassling the Western world are in one
way or another caused by chronic inflammation. This includes arthritis, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and more.
The
good news is that it’s relatively easy to manage chronic inflammation just
through diet
and small lifestyle changes. And when inflammation is dealt with, it reverses
the progressive illnesses caused by it.
Fight Chronic
Inflammation Method 1 - Fatty fish
Salmon,
tuna, mackerel and sardines are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids that reduce
inflammation. A 2009 study proved that eating baked or boiled fatty fish cuts
down the risk of developing heart disease by 23 percent. If you don’t like eating fish, consider
taking fish oil supplements.
Fight Chronic
Inflammation Method 2 - Whole grains
They
are a good source of fiber and are low in sugar and are ideal for reducing
inflammation. In fact, at the molecular level, fibers help reduce the levels of
C-reactive proteins. (C-reactive proteins are agents that stimulate
inflammation.)
Fight Chronic
Inflammation Method 3 - Green leafy vegetables
Spinach,
kale, collard greens and broccoli are already praised for their health
benefits. The high Vitamin E content in them helps protect the body from
inflammation-causing substances like cytokines. They are also rich in other
vitamins as well as minerals and are highly recommended.
Fight Chronic
Inflammation Method 4 - Nuts
Nuts, especially almonds
and walnuts, are packed full of antioxidants
that help reduce inflammation. Almonds contain high levels of Vitamin E,
calcium and fiber, while walnuts are rich in a type of omega-3 fatty acid
called alpha linolenic acid. The antioxidants in nuts are useful for repairing
any damage in the body caused by inflammation.
Fight Chronic
Inflammation Method 5 - Soy
Soy and soy products are
a rich source of isoflavones, which lower the levels of C-reactive proteins in
the body and thus reduce the chances of inflammation.
Avoid
processed soy as the additives and preservatives in it will destroy the
benefits. Consume tofu, soy milk and edamame (boiled soya beans), for maximum
benefits. Just make sure you choose organic, non GMO soy products.
Fight Chronic
Inflammation Method 6 - Beetroot
Beetroots
are packed full of fiber, Vitamin C and antioxidants and are known for its
blood pressure-lowering properties as well as reducing inflammation.
Fight Chronic
Inflammation Method 7 - Onion
Onions
are not just remarkably great at boosting the flavor of food, it is also very
good for keeping inflammation at bay. Onions contain several anti-inflammatory
substances like quercetin and allicin that break down to form sulfenic acid
that, in turn, fight free radicals.
Fight Chronic
Inflammation Method 8 - Garlic
It
might have a strong smell, but that’s no reason to stay away from this healthy
vegetable! Garlic has many compounds that work in the same way as non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs and shuts down the inflammation molecular pathway.
Fight Chronic
Inflammation Method 9 - Berries
Almost
all types of berries are good for fighting inflammation, especially the bright
red-colored berries like raspberries and strawberries which contain
anti-inflammatory compounds called anthocyanin.
Raspberry
extract has been shown to prevent arthritis in animals, while blueberries
prevent intestinal inflammation and ulcerative colitis.
The
two major diseases proven to be caused by inflammation are arthritis and type 2 diabetes.

This post is from the
Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy Program created by Scott Davis. He once suffered
from High Cholesterol so much that he even had a severe heart attack. This is what
essentially led him to finding healthier alternatives to conventional
medication.
The program is highly
focused on eliminating one simple ingredient you consume every single day, an
ingredient you had no idea you were even putting it your body. What’s
scary is that this ingredient isn’t even listed on the label of many common
food choices. It’s terrifying stuff! So, this system starts you off with
valuable information about this one simple ingredient, what it’s doing to your
body and what you can do about it. But it doesn’t end there.
The Oxidized
Cholesterol Strategy goes on to
teach you a wide range of diet, fitness, lifestyle, exercise, sleep and eating
tips that will help you maximize your results. More importantly, these tips
will help completely clean out any plaque build-up in your arteries.
