More specifically, inflammation is defined as a set of 4 reactions that can occur in the body\u2019s tissue:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Redness<\/li>\n<li>Heat<\/li>\n<li>Swelling<\/li>\n<li>Pain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Most of us can remember a time when we stubbed a finger or even sprained an ankle and saw inflammation in full effect. But keep in mind that this inflammatory response can be happening <em>inside<\/em> the body as well even though we may not be able to see it, including in the brain or digestive tract.<\/p>\n<h4>What\u2019s the Big Deal Anyway?<\/h4>\n<p>Inflammation is no small \u2018side effect\u2019 of an injury\u2014in fact, it\u2019s thought to be at the root of many common health conditions we experience today.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a short list of diseases with an inflammatory origin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Asthma<\/li>\n<li>Allergies<\/li>\n<li>Alzheimer&#8217;s<\/li>\n<li>Arthritis<\/li>\n<li>Diabetes<\/li>\n<li>High blood pressure<\/li>\n<li>Heart disease<\/li>\n<li>Inflammatory bowel disease<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Doctor\u2019s note (and fun fact!): Any time you see a medical condition that ends with \u2018itis,\u2019 it means there is inflammation in that part of the body (i.e., gingivitis = inflammation of the gums, osteoarthritis = inflammation of the joints)<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Is it Always a Bad Thing?<\/h4>\n<p>Let me clarify that all inflammation is not bad. To be completely honest, inflammation is meant to be a <em>protective<\/em> process in the body. It brings blood flow and immune cells to the injured site to help speed healing and repair. So inflammation in an acute, short-term context is not an issue and should be viewed as an integral part of the healing process.<\/p>\n<p>That said, chronic inflammation (from daily insults to the body) <em>is<\/em> a problem that needs to be addressed. It can wear out your joints, prevent proper digestion, and cause a whole host of immune problems.<\/p>\n<h4>How Do I Know if Inflammation is Affecting Me?<\/h4>\n<p>The reality is, all of us are exposed to inflammation on a regular basis. One of the major sources is from the food we eat. There are dozens of chemicals and preservatives in food that our body doesn\u2019t always know what to do with.<\/p>\n<p>In small amounts, your body can keep up with clearing out any harmful inflammatory compounds. However, with <em>too much<\/em> inflammation, the body can have a difficult time maintaining balance. And this is where symptoms come into play. If you\u2019ve been diagnosed with a medical condition, chances are your body is experiencing some level of inflammation. Even if you only feel pain or discomfort in the body \u2018sometimes\u2019, trying to lower inflammation can make a world of difference to your overall health.<\/p>\n<h4>Can Diet Make a Difference?<\/h4>\n<p>Many people are shocked to learn that certain foods can actually <em>cause<\/em> inflammation within the body. This is due to the chemical reactions that occur in the digestive tract and within the bloodstream after the food has been absorbed. So by simply reducing your intake of inflammatory foods while increasing your intake of anti-inflammatory or healing foods, you can start to shift the internal signals from the inside out. In as little as 2-3 weeks on an anti-inflammatory diet, many people will notice less pain and stiffness, improved digestion, better immune system functioning, and less reliance on over-the-counter drugs to manage their symptoms. And the better you adhere to the removal of inflammatory foods, the better your results will be.<\/p>\n<h4>Inflammatory Foods<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Dairy (especially cow sources)<\/li>\n<li>Red Meat<\/li>\n<li>Gluten (especially wheat)*<\/li>\n<li>Processed sugar<\/li>\n<li>Processed vegetable oils (corn, canola, margarines)<\/li>\n<li>Alcohol<\/li>\n<li>Nightshade vegetables (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant)*<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>\u00a0*These are especially important to avoid if you have an autoimmune condition<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Anti-inflammatory All-Star Foods<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>All vegetables (except nightshades)<\/li>\n<li>Berries<\/li>\n<li>Lemon<\/li>\n<li>Fresh herbs<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/rootalive-organic-turmeric-powder_88918.html\">Turmeric<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Garlic<\/li>\n<li>Healthy fats (e.g., avocado, olive oil, coconut)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/green-tea_942.html\">Green<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/white-tea_949.html\">white tea<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/giddy-yoyo-raw-organic-chocolate-bar_103458.html\">Dark chocolate<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_52899\" style=\"width: 693px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/anti-inflammatory-pinterest.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52899\" class=\"wp-image-52899 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/anti-inflammatory-pinterest-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Infographic of foods sorted by causing inflammation and reducing inflammation\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/anti-inflammatory-pinterest-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/anti-inflammatory-pinterest-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/anti-inflammatory-pinterest-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/anti-inflammatory-pinterest.jpg 713w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-52899\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">These are the foods to eat and the foods to avoid!<\/p><\/div>\n<h4>Diet &amp; Beyond<\/h4>\n<p>What if diet isn\u2019t enough? The truth is, the longer you have been experiencing chronic inflammation, the harder it will be to turn the process around.
