This type of acute inflammatory response is the body's reaction to trauma, and it's an essential part of the healing process. But \u003cb\u003einflammation can be harmful\u003c\/b\u003e when it hangs around too long and refuses to leave. When the inflammation switch refuses to turn off, \u003cb\u003ethe body operates as if it is always under attack\u003c\/b\u003e (the older we get, the more likely this is to happen). White blood cells flood the system for weeks, months, and even years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResearchers are now linking low-grade, persistent inflammation to premature aging, heart disease, M.S., diabetes, Alzheimer's, psoriasis, arthritis, and cancer. While anti-inflammatory drugs do exist, they can injure the stomach or suppress the immune system. Fortunately, the situation can be remedied by a change in diet, specifically by altering the kinds of fats you eat. Omega-3 fatty acids tend to decrease inflammation while omega-6 fats and trans-fats increase inflammation. While many foods in the standard American diet (unrefined white flour, sugar, red meat, dairy, fast food, and food additives) exacerbate inflammation, \u003cb\u003ea healthy diet made up of fish, nuts, seeds, oils, lean grass-fed meats, and fruits and vegetables\u003c\/b\u003e can help lessen or prevent inflammation. Likewise, \u003cb\u003ecertain spices\u003c\/b\u003e such as turmeric, cloves, and ginger have proven anti-inflammatory properties. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Reduce and prevent inflammation with these delicious dishes: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePecan Date Bread with Currants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSouthern Spiced Peaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Bean Burritos with Avocado and Mango\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaramelized Onion Pizza with Basil and Pine Nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThai-Style Fish and Seafood Chowder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCitrus Pecan Chicken Salad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Rowe, Lisa Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0785838023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780785838029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crestline\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 7.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Barbara Rowe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44132166959359,"sku":"9780785838029","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cbec87fa-247b-4557-a0b8-175e97007dc5.jpg?v=1687478621","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-anti-inflammatory-action-plan-barbara-rowe-9780785838029","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
