5 Ways to Naturally Fight Inflammation

Artificial flavorings and colorings say it all in the name... it isn't REAL. The majority of processed foods have so many additives that it causes inflammation within your body. So, if you're wondering, "Why am I eating 'healthy' but still not losing weight?" Read the label.

Not only is food a factor in losing weight, but your mental health is a huge part of it as well. I begin my morning with a quick meditation and journaling to get my mind right for the day. This helps to bring down cortisol levels! Looking for more tips? Here are my best tips to naturally fight inflammation.

Swim and exercise in pool every morning and my meditation. The rosary while in pool. Thank you Dr. For caring about our struggles!!!

[annagoral]

Whole grains and legumes are inflammatory in some extend, so better not to exaggerate. However, they are surely better compared to processed foods.

[PuzS]

Always amazing simple advice. Thank you!

[kingelrond]

I appreciate the genuine video makes it feel better

[helenarichard]

Don't forgot to avoid plant oils. It's in everything these days. Cheap butter, olive oil, peanut butter.

[awellock]

[robinmeekins]

So helpful, thank you! Robin from Houston, Texas, I will be purchasing your book, Bless you!

[meenageorge]

What about oxalates in the veggies etc causing pain and inflammation

[reneeb]

I have to avoid Dairy, sugar, grains, gluten, soy, alcohol.... Bible reading is my mediation. Ideally swimming laps in the pool is great but not an option for me right now... also building your immune system by a gut health supplement, vitamin D and Vitamin C

[monkebilly]

Ok and drinking water does help to to stop more inflammation from coming in does it?

[AskCurtis]

Both grains and legumes promote inflammation. In some people this can be quite bad.

[cmauro]

No foods that you have intolerances to (like milk, bananas, mangos (these 2 go together), strawberries for some of us) and whatever else you eat that disturbs you 2. Drink a lot of water at least 2.5 liters as women, 3 litres for men. Low sugar, pops or fizzy drinks, do not do high aerobic but VO2 level aerobic if your cortisol levels are high (hint, ADHD) high aerobics causes cortisol to go up, and please don't tell me I need a medical degree, I do look into things deeply.

[esmeraldachavez]

Going on 2 yrs of following this advice + fasting and not drinking alcoholic beverages...

[mzstompyfeet]

Is surgical adhesions development related to inflammation?

[ObiMomKenobi]

Cardiologists told my father never to eat beans and other legumes, because they are inflammatory.

[nancydunton]

Also vegetables in the nightshade family.
