What’s the fastest way to reduce inflammation in the body?

I don’t know about you, but after the summer is over I feel like I’m in need of a detox. Cocktails by the pool, barbecues with friends, camping, and processed food — there is a reset button that needs to be pressed on my digestive system.

I can always tell my body needs to be…deflated — I guess you could say — when my hands and arms begin to ache and swell, not to mention I feel tired, lethargic, and like I can’t get through the day without drinking an entire pot of coffee.

This is my body’s way of telling me I need to eat better, and be conscious of what I put in my body, mostly because my gut health is off.

That being said, I’m not a dieter. But I AM an advocate for healthy eating, and sometimes our minds need a reminder, so our bodies tell us. There’s nothing wrong with giving yourself a stricter food intake so your body can reset, and you can start feeling better.

I don’t know about you, but I could talk for hours about health an wellness, especially when it comes to how food can heal our bodies.

My personal story with eating an anti-inflammatory diet

Over a year ago, my body went through something strange. I would wake up some mornings with a high fever, achy body, chills, and could barely move. It would last a few days, then completely disappear. I ended up seeing dozens of doctors only to be told that I had Lyme’s disease, an autoimmune disease, nothing at all, or that it was all in my head. It was the most frustrating experience of my life. For one year, I struggled to find the answers.

I finally decided to see a naturopath who used herbs and an elimination diet to get my gut health back on track — his theory was that I had a leaky gut.

After spending thousands of dollars, my body healed. I am SO grateful for my experience and expert advice to heal my body with food and herbs. I can now manage it by understanding what foods irritate my gut, and how to get back on track if I am feeling inflamed again, without spending a ton of money.

That’s where to anti-inflammatory diet comes in.

If you think of an anti-inflammatory diet that way — giving your body what it needs — then your mind can accept it, instead of rebelling against some diet fad.

I have conjured up some delicious and easy recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks from the best food bloggers around for you to make a meal plan.

What might be anti-inflammatory for you is not for someone else

Here’s the thing about an anti-inflammatory diet. Not everybody is the same, so what might be anti-inflammatory for you, may not be for someone else.

I would strongly suggest that you take a food allergy test either online or through a holistic doctor. When I did this, I was able to eliminate the foods that were causing inflammation in my body. For me, even some healthy foods like celery and chicken were causing inflammation.

Think of it this way: When your overall digestive and gut health is operating the way it should, you won’t react to healthy foods anymore — or food in general! One of the main causes of food allergies is when your gut health is not properly functioning, causing food to irritate your body. But when you can digest food the right way, you’ll be able to eat the foods you love without problems.

So as you’re looking through these recipes, you might find that some of the ingredients aren’t anti-inflammatory to your needs. So simply swap out that ingredient for something else!

I know for me, I don’t eat store-bought tomatoes. I don’t trust them due to the chemicals they apply to ripen them off the vine. But I WILL eat them in season, and from a local organic farm, or I will grow them myself in direct sunlight. So if the recipe calls for tomatoes, and they bother you, then replace them with something you can tolerate.

Grocery planning

If you want to buy groceries to plan your entire week, then check all the recipes out for that week, and make sure you have all the ingredients.

These recipes are uncomplicated and will leave your belly AND taste buds happy. No reason to starve yourself on the anti-inflammatory diet. The food you will be eating doesn’t need to be calorie counted, or monitored, as they are full of vitamins, causing that bloat to go.
