Despite this, many people have not adjusted their diets or insisted that producers produce higher-quality foods. Low-quality foods cause inflammation in the body, which is connected to diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, cancer, and a variety of other serious illnesses.
What is inflammation?
Inflammation is a naturally occurring immune response in the body. Your body responds to the presence of injury or foreign invaders such as a virus or bacteria by sending chemicals and white blood cells to fight them off, helping your body heal and protect itself from illness. Naturally, this is a good thing that helps to keep you healthy.
So, what happens when there is chronic inflammation?
When the body is out of balance your immune system steps into overdrive, causing chronic inflammation, weight gain, pain and disease. Chronic inflammation occurs even when the body’s immune system is activated but is not threatened by a foreign invader. Food is one of the primary causes of chronic inflammation – AND is the primary remedy.
Foods that Cause Chronic Inflammation:
You're probably already aware that highly refined and processed foods are bad for your health. Obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, auto-immune illnesses, and a variety of other major health issues are all linked to refined sugars and carbohydrates. Saturated fats play a role in disease as well.
There are meals that are more likely to stimulate the immune system and produce inflammation, which you may not be aware of. Hormonal imbalance, mood changes, joint discomfort, sinus and respiratory troubles, headaches, digestive issues, exhaustion, and weight gain may occur as your body reacts to these low-level allergens. The symptoms appear gradually over time, and the cause is rarely linked to eating, with the exception of weight increase. As a result, you may turn to medicine or other medical testing and treatments in the hopes of finding comfort, but you will not find sustainable respite if your diet remains unchanged.
The most common food sensitivities come from:
- Dairy products
- Gluten
- Corn
- Soy
- Yeast
- Fried food
- Artificial sweeteners
- Hormones and anti-biotics
- Artificial additives (in almost every packaged food)
What Causes Food Related Inflammation?
Everything that you bring into your body impacts it – for better or worse. Refined foods loaded with chemicals, pesticides and other toxins, medications, excess amounts of sugar, and other harmful things that you ingest or absorb into your body wreaks havoc on your digestive system, changing the PH balance, altering the bacterial composition, and damaging the protective lining in your stomach and intestinal tract.
This is referred to as "leaky gut" (sounds gross, right?)
The lining of your digestive tract is designed to protect your body and immune system from toxins and allergens in your digestive system. When damaged, food particles get through the barrier and activate your immune response. Your body begins attacking your food as if it was a foreign invader. This imbalanced immune response creates chronic inflammation in the body, leading to weight gain and other major health conditions.
