Several years ago, we received a free ebook titled Eat to Beat Inflammation by Vegetarian Times. Inflammation causes most dis-ease, if not all dis-ease. It listed foods that are firefeeders and firefighting.
"a whole food, plant based diet that is low in saturated fats, refined grains, and added sugars" help beat inflammation. Anti-inflammatory foods include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Also balancing one's omega fats assists with beating inflammation. This does NOT take into consideration food sensitivities or allergies.
Here is a table with the omegas
Omega 6 foods Omega 3 foods
corn oil non-GMO canola oil
soybean oil hemp seeds, butter and oil
safflower oil flaxseeds and oil
sunflower oil chia seeds
peanut oil walnuts and oil
cottonseed oil pastured eggs
sesame oil olive oil
Here is a table containing firefeeders and firefighters
Firefeeder foods Firefighter foods
transfats extra virgin olive oil
vegetable oils whole grains
dirty dozen fruits and vegetables lentils
sugary drinks grapefruit
refined grains turmeric
salty foods pistachios
high-fat animal products (all but Omega-3 fish) celery
potato chips ginger
kale and other dark leafy greens
There are many websites that can be googled on inflammation but we do like this better than most. We also like Andrew Weil, MD. He recommendations are similar. His link is http://www.drweil.com/
