Chronic inflammation is the underlying cause of many illness and diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, gouty arthritis, and even some cancers. The good news is there are many foods out there that can reduce chronic inflammation. That’s why I created an anti-inflammatory foods list to help you get started.
But first, let’s go over some foods that cause inflammation that you should avoid:
- Trans fat
- Refined grains
- Processed foods, drinks, and snacks
- Processed meats
- Dairy
- Sugar
- Too much alcohol
- Fried foods
- Excessive amounts of Omega-6 fatty acids
If you want to change your current state of chronic inflammation, you definitely want to cut out these foods. However, I know exactly what you’re thinking. “What the heck am I supposed to eat if I can’t eat those foods?” Well, I got you covered!
