Top 10 inflammatory foods to AVOID:
🍓1. The “3 P’s”– Processed, Packaged or Prepared foods.
Fast foods are inflammatory foods due to the harmful oils, sugar and artificial sweeteners, food additives like colours, flavour enhancers, stabilizers, preservatives, etc. and a whole host of nasty ingredients.
Alternatives:
Eat REAL organic, non-GMO foods. Follow this rule through the list below.
🥦2. Hydrogenated and trans-fats
found in margarine, shortening, lard or products made with them. That includes baked goods, pies and buns. Of course there are healthier alternatives to these baked goods but most grocery stores and bakeries are using these harmful ingredients.
Alternatives:
Use MCT’s (medium chain triglycerides) like ghee, butter, coconut oil in high temperature cooking and baking, and Olive oil in salads. Never heat olive oil.
🥑3. Meat (not wild-caught fish).
No need to go vegan or vegetarian here —although a plant-based diet tends to be much lower in inflammatory substances.
Alternatives:
If you can get your hands on guaranteed grass-fed, hormone-free beef or lamb, and free range chickens you’re safer.
🍒4. Fried foods
(French fries, onion rings, potato chips, nachos, hamburgers, etc.). Obvious reasons.
🥬5. Refined sugars
and their by by-products like sweets, soft drinks and sweetened juices. Sugar, brown and white, is one of the most addictive substances you can use. It’s also highly inflammatory. Choose fruit as your “go to” food when you’re craving something sweet.
Alternatives:
limited jaggery or honey if you’re not on a specific low glycaemic diet.
🍓6. Synthetic sweeteners
(Nutrasweet, Canderel, Equal, saccharin, aspartame, phenylalanine, etc.) research links these nasty substances to many serious health conditions. Avoid!
Alternatives:
Xylitol, Erythritol, Stevia on a low glycaemic index.
🥑7. Iodized Salt
Not harmful on its own but sodium is naturally found alongside other valuable minerals like potassium, calcium and magnesium. Choose unrefined salt which naturally contains many different minerals, not just sodium.
Alternatives:
use unrefined natural sea salt or Himalayan pink salt instead.
🥦8. Dairy products and Soy/Soya products
(yogurt, ice cream, cottage cheese, butter, cheese, soya beans, soya milk etc.). These products are packed with hormones, antibiotics and other harmful ingredients so avoid them as much as possible.
Alternatives:
limited raw hormone-free dairy like Greek or Double cream yoghurt, almond milk, coconut milk, rice milk.
🍒9. Wheat products and other gluten-containing grains.
Most grains (wheat, rye, barley, oats, maize) are highly acid-forming and inflammatory in the body. Most grains available now are genetically modified (GMO). Many serious health conditions are starting to be linked to GMO consumption due to glyphosate pesticides. Gluten is found in most grains and can be highly inflammatory.
Alternatives:
Choose grains or seeds like buckwheat, sorghum, tapioca, quinoa, coconut flour, almond flour, cassava flour, rice flour or millet for your baking. Gluten-free organic oats is acceptable as a cereal. Cassava flour is excellent for rotis or wraps. Gluten free breads, pastas biscuits are available. Make sure these are sugar-free and non-GMO.
