You’ve heard all the fuss about Paleo diet this and that…  Why it works is because of the relationship of eating clean and how this contributes to low inflammation.  Chronic inflammation is simply a CHRONIC problem to have.

Contributing to;

• Age-related disorders
• Many cancers
• Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases
• Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis

What to do:

• Eat lean and green.  That’s lean meats especially chicken and fish as well as heaps of green vegetables also adding in many other vibrant colours of vegetables with a few fruits as well.
• Nuts and red meat on occasion are fine.  Some studies have tried to implicate red meat in causing arthritis, they couldn’t prove it.
• The best way to do this is to eat a fat-free diet and add in olive, flax, and fish oils. Omega ‘s are very well sourced on their positive response to anti-inflammation.  There are other things to try as well, like certain spices capsaicin from red pepper, for example, is being marketed for arthritis, as well as turmeric.
• In closing if you have aggressive, debilitating autoimmune disease, no amount of red pepper or omega 3 fatty acids may prevent irreversible damage. Pharmacotherapy intervention may be the only option.
