Reducing Inflammation the Natural Way

Inflammation is the immune system’s response to infection and injuries. A lot of people tend to complain about their symptoms but do not understand the underlying cause.

There are numerous negative effects that inflammation has on the body such as:

• headaches
• allergies
• back/neck pain
• fibromyalgia
• lupus
• rheumatoid arthritis

If left untreated, the inflammation can become chronic- and fast. Most times, chronic inflammation is noticeable immediately in the form of pain. However, sometimes it can be sneaky and become unnoticed which over time will inevitably lead to serious health problems.

Good thing this can easily be treated with regular chiropractic care along with a good, clean, diet.

What are some beneficial foods for treating and preventing inflammation?

• green, leafy vegetables
• berries/cherries
• carrots
• sweet potatoes
• liver
• fatty fish
• yogurt
• some meats

ALWAYS chose organic and free range wherever possible.

It is also very important (imperative actually) to include a regular intake of omega 3’s and 6’s. These fatty acids are essential to reducing inflammation. They are not naturally produced by the body alone, so they must be obtained from food.

Last but not least, ALWAYS avoid trans fats and sugars! They are the main culprits for causing chronic inflammation in the body.
