Why you should switch to an Anti-inflammatory Diet

Here at the Total Health Services, we believe that one of the best ways towards a Healthy Lifestyle and Healthy Diet is to follow an Anti-inflammatory Diet. That is because most root causes of illnesses and health problems in modern society have a lot to do with Inflammation within our bodies.

In fact, the root cause of inflammation is the Standard American Diet - SAD. Our SAD diets are typically loaded with inflammatory fats - including processed and unnatural foods and really junk foods. The number one source of calories in the American diet is soft drinks - which is a scary and dangerous statistic. The consumption of doughnuts, pastries, potato/corn chips, burgers, cookies, candy and the like are indeed, well designed to produce inflammation in our bodies.

In order to change to an Anti-inflammatory Diet, we have to decrease the excess consumption of pro-inflammatory omega 6 fats and these can be found in oils from corn, soy, safflower. We should also consider getting rid of trans fats and hydrogenated fats in our diets as well. 

An Anti-inflammatory Diet includes omega 3 fats - like cold-water fish/fish oil, and to a minor extent flax.

The important thing to remember is that, inflammation is not necessarily bad in and of itself.  It becomes a problem when it becomes like an accelerator in a car that gets stuck and the omega 3 fats in our bodies are inadequate.
