If you are suffering from the extremely irritating effects of acute inflammation or the persistent debilitation of chronic inflammation, you CAN do something about it.

But it may require drastic measures.

It is admittedly difficult to adjust your diet but think of it this way, if you were fighting a war, would you only wear your helmet or take your weapons when you felt like it? Of course not!
Knowing the following common inflammation trigger foods will give you the protection and ammunition needed to really win your battle with this insidious enemy.

Food That Can Trigger Inflammation

• eggs
• corn
• wheat
• beef, chicken, pork
• nuts and peanuts
• tomatoes
• onions
• apples, citrus fruits, bananas
• chocolate
• alcohol
• caffeinated beverages

Wow! That is a tough list, right? Well, fortunately, there is another list of “good” foods. Check out the list of foods that fight inflammation, it is actually a lot longer.

In Dr. William Meggs book, “The Inflammation Cure” he offers very good advice for making this type change in your diet. He says, “An elimination diet requires considerable time investment of time and can be uncomfortable and inconvenient, so choose a time when you will be able to follow through on the diet (as opposed to starting a week before your daughter’s wedding, for example).

All the best to you as you take another step toward excellent health.

However, science has identified several whose phytochemical properties are geared toward fighting our big enemy- uncontrolled or chronic inflammation.

So, since your going to eat those fruits and veggies anyway, why not eat the ones that will get to health faster?

P.S. Don’t forget that if you (pardon the word) “pervert” these natural foods by drenching them with sugar, salad dressing or loads of good ol’ butter in a frying pan, then you can’t count on those phytochemicals to survive the trip from the store to your mouth. I know sweet potato pie is GOOD but try to eat just the sweet potato sometimes.
