Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition

Inflammation is the result of the body’s immune response to damage or an outside invader.  While a certain amount of inflammation is important in the healing process, persistent or chronic inflammation can potentially lead to a number of diseases, including diabetes, cancer, arthritis, and digestive disorders.

Recent research has drawn a link between poor diet and inflammation.  As our intake of damaging foods increases, so too does our risk for chronic inflammation and resulting disease.  Learning which foods promote and which ones reduce inflammation will help you create  the nutritional balance essential to maintaining a healthy body.
