Anti-inflammatory foods: what they are and which ones to avoid

 

 

Fighting inflammation at the table

The percentage of people suffering from inflammation and pain of various kinds is very high. Sometimes these conditions are so extreme that they are disabling. For this reason and for the rush to rightly find some relief and well-being, we recklessly resort to the use of synthetic anti-inflammatories (drugs).

Treatment with the emergency drug can be useful but generally people who resort to this solution do so recurrently and habitually causing addiction and worsening the general condition of the organism. In fact, the synthetic anti-inflammatory acts directly on the stomach (irritating your mucosa and inhibiting the action of prostaglandins) while the liver has the tiring burden of disposing of the load.

In the long run, all this mechanism can only harm the organism that does not function in a "sealed compartment" but works as a "team". In other words, the kidneys can also be damaged in the tail and the intestine.



For this it is always good fare of prevention their own arma to avoid resorting to solutions that immediately relieve us of inflammation but then, on the other hand, damage us even more.

As it often happens power comes to meet us by giving us excellent alternatives to traditional drugs. As already mentioned there are some foods that have portentous anti-inflammatory characteristics. Some of these foods can be introduced daily into our diet such as preventive agents towards the parts of the body that are most vulnerable and prone to inflammation.

Having said this, attention must also be paid toelimination of foods that can increase it. A tissue or a part of the body can become inflamed by mechanical, chemical and biological causes. This is why it is good to observe your body and its reactions in order to intervene promptly, preventing a chronic inflammation with its consequences.

 

Foods to Avoid 

Some foods contain a particular acid called arachidonic acid to activity distinctly pro-inflammatory borne by the body. These foods are meat and eggs, peanuts and dairy products (cheeses).

In the body, arachidonic acid is synthesized through linoleic acid. This is extremely useful information because it makes us better understand the importance in the choice of oils and fats contained especially in packaged baked goods but also in those of artisanal production.

It should be borne in mind that arachidonic acid is mainly concentrated in the nervous system and muscle tissue. To be clear this acid is not only inflammatory but it is also useful to the extent that the organism produces it (for example we find it in breast milk for the development of the fetus) while it should be emphasized that an excessive intake through food makes it harmful, precisely pro-inflammatory.



This action is involved in atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and some other autoimmune diseases. A dietary correction, therefore, that regulates the excess entry of this acid is of undoubted utility.

We can therefore affirm that the "Enemy foods" (inflammatory action) are the sugar and refined carbohydrates (wheat or wheat), meats and cheeses, packaged foods, the glutamate and some particular food combinations (omega 6 association with foods that raise insulin such as dessert at the end of the meal is not correct), preservatives, additives and although not a food we also consider stress.

 

Anti-inflammatory foods

Nature offers a diverse range of anti-inflammatory foods. In general, a diet that includes fresh fruit and vegetables and season e whole foods they can already do a lot.

Other foods in particular, however, contain substances or active ingredients that act in a targeted way. Most synthetic drugs (for any use) are born from a careful scientific examination aimed at the plants in question. Digitalis which is a famous drug for heart care (cardiokinetic) is a clear example of this as is aspirin and many others. Even the powerful action of some herbs has banned them from the ministry of health for their use and marketing and then updated the dosages and methods of use.

The omega three (blue fish and some nuts) also return to our table in this case. Their action on the cycle oxygenase (cox) reduces inflammation.
