A list of the most powerful anti-inflammatory foods that fight inflammation in the body.
Chronic inflammation is a very common condition
where different parts of the body become swollen, painful and reddened for long periods of time.
This is linked to many different conditions
such as arthritis, auto-immune disease, allergies, sinus problems, diabetes, weight gain, nerve
problems and many more.
In today's article we will share with you a list of the healthiest anti-inflammatory foods
that you can consume to rapidly lower inflammation in the body.
These foods have been scientifically studied
and well tested by doctors and nutritionists.
One. Berries We highly recommend consuming a handful of
dark berries on a daily basis such as blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries.
These fruits are rich in vibrant red and blue
pigment colours called anthocyanins. These are antioxidants that lower inflammation and
reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems.
Berries are actually the healthiest fruits on the planet and are packed full of other
healing compounds like resveratrol which has an anti-aging effect on the skin, hair and
nails.
They also have ellagic acid, quercetin, catechins and others which can help prevent infections,
cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease and many more.
Two. Spices
Turmeric is one of the healthiest spices in the world and is well known for reducing pain,
swelling and inflammation throughout the body.
Turmeric has been used for over four thousand years and is particularly good at fighting joint
pain, bone pain and arthritis due to a compound it contains called curcumin.
Use this to flavour delicious curries and
stir fries, along with other anti-inflammatory spices like ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, black
pepper, cloves and garlic.
Garlic in particular is one of the most effective as it contains sulphur compounds which strengthen
the immune system. It has been shown to help reverse cartilage damage in those with arthritis.
Ginger is also one of the best natural pain
killers and has been used for centuries to treat nausea, motion sickness and support
healthy digestion. Fresh ginger can be boiled to make a powerful anti-inflammatory tea.
Three. Vegetables
To lower inflammation the most important nutrients come from dark leafy greens such as kale,
spinach, swiss chard, collard greens and bok choy.
These plant-based foods provide nourishment
at the cellular level, boost friendly bacteria in the gut and lower overall inflammation
in the body. They do this by supplying important nutrients like vitamins A, C, E, K, B and
electrolytes like magnesium and potassium.
Healthy salads each day are an important part of an anti-inflammatory diet or you can make
blended green smoothies.
Cruciferous vegetables are the healthiest including broccoli, brussels sprouts, garden
cress, cabbage, cauliflower and arugula.
These help to prevent cognitive decline as we get older by strengthening the synapses
in the brain.
Broccoli sprouts and regular broccoli contain a special compound called sulforaphane which
detoxifies the liver and internal organs, so eat these as much as possible.
Four. Omega three
Wild caught salmon, mackerel, anchovies and sardines are all rich in essential omega three
fatty acids, which the body cannot make on its own.
These omega three's are important for preventing
inflammation in the body especially the brain, eyes and heart.
The DHA and EPA found in oily fish are especially
important for those with dementia or any type of memory problems like brain fog.
Studies show that omega three's are vital for
those with autoimmune conditions like type one diabetes, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis,
lupus, arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis and others.
Omega three's are also shown to reduce stress
levels and improve mood, making you less likely to feel depressed or anxious.
You can also take a supplement of virgin cod
liver oil or krill oil to boost omega three, or sea weed if you are a vegan.
Five. Healthy Fats
It is important that you get a good amount of healthy fats into the diet each day to
fix chronic inflammation in the body. We need dietary fat to supply fat-soluble nutrients
like Vitamin A, E, D and Ktwo.
Avocados contain some of the healthiest monounsaturated fats which lower inflammation in the cardiovascular
system.
They are also loaded with potassium which can help to prevent stroke, heart disease
and diabetes. Potassium also regulates fluid in the body to get rid of swollen joints and
water retention.
Extra virgin coconut oil is a great source of energy for the body and is rich in MCT's
(medium chain triglycerides) which reduce inflammation in the structure of the brain.
We also recommend grass fed butter, extra
virgin olive oil, egg yolk and macadamia nut oil to get your vitamin A. This reduces swelling
in the eyes and retina, helping to produce healthy tears and reduce eye strain in the
Six small muscles of the eye.
Avoid hydrogenated and processed oils such as vegetable oil, margarine spreads, soy oil
or canola oil. These are the main triggers of inflammation in the body as they contain
too much omega six.
Six. Nuts and Seeds When it comes to nuts and seeds we highly
recommend flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, almonds and hemp
seeds.
These are the best sources of ALA (Alpha-linolenic acid) which is the third most important omega
Three that fights inflammation, especially in the heart and brain.
These are also rich in antioxidants like vitamin
E which fights free radicals in the body and has anti-aging effects on the skin.
Chia seeds in particular are known as "warriors
food" and are one of the best plant based sources of protein and fibre. This fibre helps
to control blood sugar levels, reduce insulin resistance and support a healthy microbiome
in the digestive system.
ALA in seeds and nuts helps to modulate the immune system to heal auto-immune diseases,
and help the body to fight off infections.
If you struggle with digesting these, you can germinate them by soaking in water overnight
and then drying them out. This makes them much easier to process in the digestive system.
Seven. Herbs
The body absorbs many dangerous toxins from the environment like pesticides, heavy metals
and pollutants. These are called endocrine disruptors which puts the hormones out of
balance and makes you feel sluggish and tired.
Fresh herbs help to detoxify these chemicals from your liver which can then balance your
hormones and boost energy levels rapidly.
Herbs like parsley, thyme, mint, oregano and coriander are rich in natural healing compounds
which aids the liver in stage one and stage two detoxification.
All green plants are loaded with chlorophyll
which fights free radicals, reduces the effects of aging on the skin, and lowers the risk
of cancer.
Adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha and maca root are also effective at lowering stress
levels and inflammation by regulating the adrenal gland hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.
Eight. Fermented Foods
Some of the best fermented foods that fight inflammation are sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha
tea, yoghurt, pickles and natto.
These go through a fermentation process which makes them very easy to digest and break down
in the body.
These foods are rich in probiotics which feed the friendly bacteria in the gut, also
known as the microbiome.
The gut houses seventy percent of the cells that make up your immune system, so they are extremely
important.
Having more friendly bacteria in the gut is linked to better concentration and reduces
problems with allergies, arthritis, fatigue and autoimmune diseases like IBS and acne.
Nine. Drinks
To keep your body actively healthy and cleansed, we recommend drinking herbal teas throughout
the day.
Cut out the junk foods, concentrated fruit juices and soda drinks, as these are high
in sugar which is the leading cause of inflammation.
Start drinking Matcha Tea, Nettle Tea and Peppermint Tea.
We also recommend ginger and lemon water, and kale smoothies blended with mixed berries.
The trick is to try and get as many nutrients
into the diet as possible, and drinking these is a great way of doing this.
As you can see there are many healthy anti-inflammatory foods that you can eat to strengthen and heal
your body.
Eating a mixture of these foods every day and cutting out junk foods will rapidly lower
inflammation in the body and heals many underlying conditions.
If you have digestive problems like acid reflux,
GERD, bloating and gas then you most likely have a common condition called low stomach
acid.
You need a strong acidic stomach with a low Ph to absorb important minerals. Simply drink
a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before a meal to strengthen the stomach.
This also has the added benefit of balancing
your blood Ph. Levels back to normal which is slightly alkaline.
Apple cider vinegar also helps your gallbladder
to release bile for breaking down fatty foods and absorbing fat-soluble nutrients.
Avoid artificial iron tablets as these are
loaded with elemental iron which is not easily absorbed and can actually cause inflammation
in the brain.
Switch to a high-quality grass-fed spleen extract or liver extract. This is a natural
form of iron bound to protein, which your body can absorb and use to strengthen the
blood.
To speed up the effects of these healthy foods, you can perform intermittent fasting on a
daily basis. This is one of the best ways to cure chronic inflammation by activating
certain genes.
Home treatment for anti inflamation
I use now for GERD
that I've got and issues realize it's
the entire system goes through and that
this kind of anti inflammatory mixture
can help with a lot of different issues
that are involved with a whole GI tract
from top to bottom I'm using aloe vera
in the United States were very used to
thinking of this as an external thing to
just put on the outside of your body for
sunburns but truthfully it is a
wonderful plant to eat and a lot of the
issues that you deal with all the way
from here to here are inflammatory
issues that of the result of say acid
burning a part of your tissue and skin
it's a burn and thinks that their
anti-inflammatory can help with taking
down that burn and reducing friction in
this case with the for the aloe and it
has a bunch of other stuff in it to help
the help you feel better and a lot of
the stuff we take over-the-counter you
know the htwo blockers the PPI stuff all
over ranitidine and the purple pills and
all this kind of stuff you you really
can't be on this forever so I'm going to
tell you that of course when you watch
something like this and these kind of
things are all over the internet do it
at your own risk and also if you do not
stop doing the things which are making
your problem occur then you cannot take
something else to make it stop you have
to stop the thing you're doing that
makes you sick and then try to heal
yourself up this is a try to heal
yourself up thing so I'm going to list
these foods on the side if you have GERD
you cannot eat this stuff anymore
it's just you if you eat this stuff
you're gonna have a problem and you
can't eat after seven o'clock at night
because you're just gonna have
indigestion that stuff's gonna come up I
also sleep in a recliner there's Parker
and this keeps me elevated a little bit
I used to put blocks under the bed but
truth is it just didn't work out for me
and also my hips were a little bit an
older age and slipping in the recliner
all the way back gives me just the
elevation I need and takes the weight
off of my hips which means I don't hurt
in the morning so that's that's what I
do about that sort of strange sleeping
in a chair but that if it makes you feel
better in the morning
so I was going to talk about aloe vera
active components in aloe vera these
you can buy at the Mexican grocery store
for a couple bucks a leaf giant ones
from usually from Mexico and this is the
prime constituent what I call my elixir
for what I'm treating right now I have
Barrett's esophagus and and curd and
reflux and a lot kind of stuff so first
thing do I stop to eat and all that
stuff don't eat after seven I stopped
taking the pills and all that or min
Adina and everything cuz that's mega
dosing on that from the doctor stay on
it the rest of your life you've got to
go down to smaller portions eating more
meals during the day and then not eating
after seven o'clock at night this has
vitamins minerals polysaccharides
enzymes fatty acids it's some very
interesting things have a c e and the
vitamins it's got btwalve not a lot of
things happy twalve makes you feel better
and a lot of good fatty acids in there
that are moderators of your cholesterol
things like that it looks like just a
clear gel on the inside under this %
water but all that stuff is in there in
proportions there's twanty minerals in here
all kind of trace minerals of the stuff
you need in your body eighteen amino acids are
in here and only eight amino acids are
considered vital for life it says eighteen
amino acids in it and we're going to add
one more to the mix over here which I
found to be beneficial it's also an
adaptogen which means it sort of helps
you deal with stress and free radicals
it's a very versatile thing
it's an alkalizer and that's very
important with the stomach we're going
to add coconut water to our mix over
here is another alkalizer to moderate
those acids as it goes to
and I'll tell you what the mixture is
what the dosing is how to how to use
this stuff it's also an immune system
booster I can't tell you how it is but
if you look at the research it does
seems to boost your ability to resist
disease it is an anti germicidal it's an
antifungal it really helps you regulate
your your digestive system so let's talk
about I'm going to show you how to
render this stuff at first and then
we're going to talk about the mixture
itself so here's how you render one of
these leaves I use a grapefruit spoon
it's got a little serrated edges on and
over here makes it easier to scrape out
and a nice sharp knife like a steak
knife cut off the very bottom this tends
to be a little bit bitter so in some of
the plants it's not bitter at all and
some it is so I just chopped off that
little part there it's hard to render
anyway and at the very top where it's
really hard to get stuff out what I'll
do is sort of open these up and chop
them up and we can you'd put them in a
little plastic bag and use them for
burns or whatever then I cut this in
half and I gently sort of push my
fingers to the side here as I go down
and to make a fillet cut right down the
center here and it helps open it right
up or right down the center do that on
both of them and then I cut right under
the edges that's close you can get
without getting the green stuff you
don't want the leek material in there at
all
and just cut gingerly right under there
and you can take your little serrated
spoon a regular spoon works fine to hold
it and peel it right into your container
which you're going to freeze and use
this stuff as you need it frozen it
holds for a long long time and it keeps
those enzymes everybody else good and
happy for a long time here we go get
most of it out of there just got to open
up this one here same thing only takes a
second and I do these in groups of about
I buy about five at a time
render it into a couple of Tupperware
containers and that keeps me going for
quite a long time and you want to pick
the ones at the grocery store that don't
have any red on the back of them they
can get a red
bacteria or whatever it is that grows in
these things as they get older and have
been sitting on the shelf for a long
time so when you're picking them out
pick the ones that are really firm and
fully green in the back and don't have
injuries on them a lot of times you'll
see injury so pick the good ones out and
leave yourself space for the item to for
the aloe to expand when it freezes
because freezing gives about a ten
percent expansion in size so there you
go and you'll notice that if you do have
one that has red on the outside on the
back of the leaf you'll see it here that
sometimes the gel will have a light red
in it I have not found this bacteria to
be harmful in any way to me because I've
used how to use it sometimes but also if
there is a little bit in here even the
elixir itself even when the elixir is
frozen will grow this light pink
bacteria in it and like I said I just
try to avoid it by buying leaves that
don't have me red or very little red of
Maggie see there's a little bit of red
there but I'm talking it gets all red so
just you know pick through the box at
the Mexican grocery store and pick
yourself some good ones and then when
they see or you're buying it they'll be
sure to keep it in stock so just prep up
that way I freeze it and then I take the
ice pack and pull it out I just put some
water in the back of the Tupperware pop
it out on the butcher block use an ice
pick and break off a section of about
like this would be three whole
preparations I cut this into three
slices for about there's about thirteen ounces
in here total so but a ten ounce block of
this onr/three of this would make you know and
this is what however deep it is and that
would result in the final mix with the
fifteen ounces of coconut water and the round
teaspoon of l-glutamine preparation I'm
using the fresh stuff so I'm gonna go
ahead and get about ten ounces in there
now these these measurements are not
critical that would be maybe give you
one leaf I'm gonna freeze the rest go
ahead and well first put my fifteen ounces of
coconut water in there it's a thirty three ounce
container will over a quart so I'm just
gonna start
that's about half there we go put the
rest of the coconut water in the fridge
for later and my one ounce my one I rounded
teaspoon of l-glutamine we go glutamine
dissolves in water based Lily's pretty
easily if you're working with the frozen
aloe it really takes a while for the
blender to blend that stuff in it works
better for you go ahead and break it up
into smaller chunks I also will put in
my eight now eight drops of eight ounces at eight drops
of stevia one two to seven hey we're going
on that's just to my taste
you know stevia is a non-impact thing so
whatever you like in there then blend
away if you are using the iced pieces of
aloe you may have to turn the blender
off move around a little bit they can
get caught under the blaze oh when it's
done it's going to have about seventy five% or
more bubbles from all that coconut water
and the aloe mixing together you're just
going to let it sit for a good long
while probably ten minutes to lit like a
like a beer or something all sudden it
will be mostly liquid in a little bit of
foam and then I just use a plastic
funnel you can use whatever you've got
I used to some sports drink bottles that
happened to be nalchi in the highest
quality of plastic you might take a look
but glass would be better of course we
like to stay away from plastic whenever
possible and it's already recombining
here or about up to there with a liquid
and just wait awhile you'll know when
you're done with the blender because you
won't see any clear stuff going around
the bottom of the blender that aloe will
be busted up so when most of the foam is
gone
you pour it up into whatever kind of
continuous you've got now something I
didn't mention was the aloe itself
I prefer fresh aloe fresh is always
better get it if you can from Mexican
grocery store or wherever you can buy it
the bottle stuff generally has
preservatives and I find those to be
irritating
and you don't want more irritation you
want the opposite of that there are a
few brands that come in glass that have
citric acid as a preservative and that's
teens tends to be okay but still you're
not getting that super active
biologically active thing you would get
with a live leaf so here we go I didn't
make I could have filled this bottle up
fully and had about you know a little
bit in the next more just drank off the
rest for my weeks preparation and that
gives me about you know five six ounce
little cups something like that between
the the total here now the dosing the
way I use is this I use this overnight
and I use about six ounces in the glass
I pour it up for a go to bed and right
as I'm before I go to sleep I take a
little swig of it you know one nice
swallow and then if I get up in the
middle of the night at any time and have
any consciousness in the mirror and go
to the bathroom
I take another little swig and that's
midnight and fight in the morning
sometimes I'll go say six seven eight
o'clock or I might you know be about to
get up and I'll take that last swig so I
get about three two ounce gulps out of
it and and then I'll have breakfast an
hour later so that spreads out the
dosing and also puts it into a stomach
that doesn't have much in it plus it
helps to bring down stomach acids during
the course of the night I know a lot of
you have lost your gallbladder like me
and that means that your acids
continuously dumping into the upper part
up here of your intestine and you want
to sort of have something to know that
out would be awfully nice so that also
helps with that because we don't have
the gallbladder to store up that acid
overnight so there you go there's the
dosing also the stuff doesn't really
hold for more than about five days and
if you let it go any longer especially
you're using sugar it will ferment and
you'll know by tasting it then also the
other thing is your body will tell you
when you need to do this in other words
your body will tell you when you've had
enough of this you're feeling great
again
I really am paying no problems overnight
I'm not eating all these nasty things
that give me reflux and GERD and upset
stomach and I'm gonna sort of back off
on a while for a while because anything
you can take too much of even a natural
thing like just eating aloe vera which
is
water so follow your feeling on this so
you back off for a while if you feel
like your symptoms come back then start
up the regimen again I find this is a
very innocuous easy to do way to bring
down a lot of those symptoms and I hope
really heal a lot of that irritation and
that burn up into your upper and all the
way through the GI tract so until next
time take it easy
