For your inflammation

Ininflammation is a hot topic in the health and wellness industry lately, and is something that can sabotage even your best efforts as you journey to achieve wellness.  Inflammation can hold you back from living your best life since research shows it can contribute to weight gain, joint pain, acid reflux, heart disease, diabetes, gastrointestinal problems, auto immune diseases and more. When your body is inflamed it can not function optimally. Inflammation can be your friend in acute situations like illness or injury. However, chronic inflammation can cause a host of problems that can wreak havoc on your health. It is important to avoid chemicals, environmental factors, and foods that you know can cause inflammation in your body. It can be different for everyone. I know that I feel bloated when I eat dairy and foods containing wheat. GMO's, pesticides, artificial sweeteners, and other foods can be treated as invaders by the body and inflammation can occur as a way for the body to protect itself from these types of ingredients. It may be difficult to figure out what causes your inflammation, but eating a diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods is a good start. Avoid GMO's, preservatives, artificial colors and sweeteners as much as possible. If you would like to know exactly what your body is sensitive to and what causes YOUR inflammation, you can have your blood tested by ALCAT. I did this several years ago and experienced amazing results.
