When my knee becomes tight and inflamed, of course I get worried. So I thought I'd take a few minutes and look up Dr. Weil's anti-inflammatory diet.
Fortunately, my diet is pretty clean but even I can use a little reminder now and again! And just in case you're not sure about your diet, take a few minutes to review the image above, and increase food choices that are less inflammatory.
From Dr. Weil's website: "It is becoming increasingly clear that a host of illnesses - including heart disease, many cancers and Alzheimer's disease - are influenced in large part by chronic inflammation.
This is a process in which the immune system becomes off balance, and persists unnecessarily in its efforts to repair the body and repel pathogens. The prolonged process results in damage to healthy tissue as well.
Stress, lack of exercise, genetic predisposition and other lifestyle factors can all promote inflammation, but poor diet is perhaps the main contributor, and the ideal place to begin addressing inflammation. (Find more details on the mechanics of the inflammation process and the Anti-Inflammatory Food Pyramid.)"
