Inflammation is our bodies natural process to isolate damaged tissues in our body to prevent disease or damage to spread to healthy tissues nearby.
However, certain foods that we eat like sugar cause massive damages to our body as sugar is like glass within the bloodstream. Causing major damage as it cycles through our blood. This then causes major inflammation and disease within our body.
Diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, and soooo much more can be directly connected to increased inflammation in our system.
Below I have listed some food no’s and yes’s for the anti inflammatory diet as well as my favorite veggie detox soup recipe!
