IS YOUR BODY INFLAMED?
There is wide spread confusion and lack of undertanding regarding how to eat these days, much of it coming from the media. Whether you want to lose weight, reduce body fat or put on muscle, you'll find experts touting all sorts of pills, magic hormone supplements, genie in the bottle shake drinks, new special diet programs, even surgical procedures to help reach your goal. The safest and most effective way to achieve such goals is to eat right. Avoid "pro-inflammatory" foods and DEFLAME your body.
What is inflammation? Inflammation is the human body's response to injury, injury of any kind; be it from physical trauma or from poor nutritional eating habits. Simply eating the wrong foods alters the chemical makeup of the human body, which results in injury to our tissues. With every bite of food we take, we are either increasing or decreasing inflammatory chemicals that are released in our body. This is important because most chronic pains and diseases are caused by a state of long term poor nutritional eating habits.
