An Anti-Inflammatory <\/strong>Lifestyle:<\/strong><\/h1>\n

A Primer on the What, Why and How<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Does an anti-inflammatory lifestyle sound familiar to you? \u2026<\/p>\n

You wake up in the morning, but you don\u2019t feel rested. You push through joint and muscle aches to go to work, but when you get there, you find that you simply can\u2019t concentrate. Maybe you used to have a pretty effective metabolism, but now you can\u2019t stop gaining weight! It\u2019s exhausting and exhausted is how you feel most of the time.<\/p>\n

Even if you don\u2019t have an autoimmune disease (and the description above, by the way, may prompt you to think about your health), you\u2019re probably aware that, to feel better, you need to\u00a0eat better.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is Inflammation, and Why Does It Matter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Inflammation, a reaction to injury or infection, is a process by which the body\u2019s white blood cells protect your system from illness or harm. Typically, it’s a natural process, one we couldn’t live without. In some people, though, this natural process goes haywire, triggering an inflammatory response when there\u2019s nothing to fight. For these individuals, the body responds to normal tissues, like the joints or the thyroid gland, as abnormal. As you can imagine, when the body turns on itself, the individual suffers.<\/p>\n

The milder symptoms of chronic inflammation can include fatigue, aches and pains, or\u00a0 brain fog. More serious diseases \u2013 like arthritis, colitis, chronic pain, fibromyalgia,\u00a0heart disease, diabetes and more \u2013 are associated with chronic inflammation as well. Over 20\u00a0million Americans struggle with what are called autoimmune diseases. Many of them come to\u00a0the conclusion that their diet may be partly to blame and needs to change.<\/p>\n

\"Inflammation\"The Anti-Inflammatory Lifestyle Addresses Inflammation Issues<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Basically, if you continue to eat the way that many of us did as teenagers, filling your body with\u00a0carbohydrates, sugars and processed junk, your body will eventually fight back. Before that\u00a0happens \u2013 before your immune system becomes overtaxed and autoimmune symptoms rear\u00a0their ugly heads \u2013 it\u2019s a good idea to research healthier food options.<\/p>\n

The idea of food-as-medicine is catching on all over the country. Many doctors recommend\u00a0choosing an anti-inflammatory diet to help support your body naturally. As research on the\u00a0power of food to treat disease gains traction, more people are choosing to improve their diets\u00a0now rather than wait for inflammatory illnesses to occur. Many choose an option such as the Paleo diet, which includes lean meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, and nuts.<\/p>\n

Who Can Benefit from an Anti-Inflammatory Lifestyle?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Whether you suffer from an autoimmune disease already, want to lose weight, or simply want to improve the quality of your life before health problems appear, an Anti-Inflammatory diet may be a significant first step.<\/p>\n
