Anti Inflammatory Diet

Eliminate Joint Pain, Reclaim Your Energy And


Banish Body Aches By Eating The Foods You
Were Designed To Eat

Introduction

I want to thank you and congratulate you for downloading the book, Anti Inflammatory Diet Eliminate Joint Pain, Reclaim Your Energy And Banish Body Aches By Eating The Foods You Were
Designed To Eat.
This book has comprehensive information on a suitable anti-inflammatory diet that you should adopt
to fight inflammation and live a pain free life.
Joints are an integral part of our being especially because they provide us with movement support. As
such, any damage to joints, perhaps from an injury or disease, can interfere with your movement and
cause you a lot of pain, which ranges from mild to severe.
If you suffer from joint pain, perhaps the one thing that you may be wondering is; what brings so much
pain? Well, if youve been suffering from joint pain for some time, you probably have an idea of what
it is that you do that worsens the pain even if you dont understand how that is possible. If your joint
pain is chronic (more on this later in the book), it can last for weeks or even months, and if you suffer
from acute joint pain (to be discussed later), this is likely to go away after a few weeks. But what
exactly causes the joint pain that makes you to lose sleep?
Well, a number of different things cause joint pain including any injury affecting any of the ligaments,
or tendons surrounding your joints. Pain in the joints is an indication of joint inflammation and
sometimes infection. Whatever the cause of the joint pain may be, through proper dieting, i.e. eating
foods that contain anti-inflammatory properties, you can manage joint pain and reduce the pain and
inflammation while preserving a joints functionality.
This book is the ultimate anti-inflammatory diet book. It contains invaluable knowledge on how to
live a joint-pain free life by doing one simple thing: eating right. This book outlines how to use food,
and how to tweak your diet to eliminate joint pain, reclaim your energy, and banish body aches.
Thanks again for downloading this book, I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1: Understanding Inflammation


While most of us associate inflammation with reddening, swelling of a wound, and pain, especially
after an injury, normal inflammation is not as bad as we think. In fact, inflammation is an important
part of our bodys immune system response to stimuli. Why is that? Well, inflammation is our bodys
attempt to protect itself from bacteria and viruses by removing harmful stimuli. In other words,
inflammation is actually our bodys first line of defense, and is part of the healing process.
Inflammation is innate in all of us: something we are born with, and which forms a natural part of our
bodys immune system. When a foreign invader such as an infection, virus, or bacteria gets into your
body, your immune system responds with an inflammatory counter-attack. For instance, when you
sprain your hand and it swells, the swelling is your bodys inflammatory response to the injury. This
kind of inflammation is localized.
When we are injured, inflammation helps us with immediate healing. This complex biological
response occurs in three stages. The very first stage is irritation, which becomes inflammation. Pus
discharge, also known as suppuration, is the second stage. Granulation is the final stage; granulation
is when wounds, along with rounded mass of tissue start forming.
As you already noticed from the introduction, inflammation falls into two broad categories: acute and
chronic inflammation. Acute inflammation starts immediately after an injury or stimuli. Its symptoms
may be present only for a few days but may sometimes persist for weeks. Chronic inflammation, on
the other hand, is long-term and can last for several months and sometimes even years. Chronic
inflammation can be systemic to an extent where it affects your organs and internal structures
As we stated earlier, until it becomes chronic, thus causing damage to our body, inflammation is an
important immunity process. Once it turns chronic, chronic inflammation can cause rheumatoid
arthritis, heart disease, hay fever, atherosclerosis, periodontitis, and cancers such as gallbladder
carcinoma. Chronic inflammation has many causes such as stress, lack of exercise, your personal
genetics, stress, lack of sleep, and most importantly, the foods in your diet.

Chapter 2: Causes Of Inflammation


What really causes inflammation in the body? Well, when you get an injury or an infection, your
immune system is automatically triggered and then it takes the next logical step of kick starting a chain
of events, which are normally known as inflammatory cascade. This is the process that causes
inflammation, which starts when the pro-inflammatory hormones ask for assistance from the white
blood cells to get rid of infections and tissue damage.
The inflammatory hormones are followed by anti-inflammatory compounds, which are powerful
components that take over the injured scene after the threat has been neutralized with an aim of
beginning the healing process.
There are many factors apart from the one we have seen above that cause or trigger inflammation. I
will now highlight the physical, biological, chemical, and psychological causes of inflammation.
Physical causes
Trauma
Physical injury; blunt or a deep injury
Ionizing radiation
Frostbite
Burns
Foreign bodies which include dirt, debris and splinters
Chemical
Toxins
Alcohol
Chemical irritants
Biological
Stress
Pathogen infections
Immune reactions that are caused by hypersensitivity
Psychological
Psychological stress is a major cause of inflammation. To help you understand better, I will use the
example of a bad dream. When you are having a bad dream, you normally wake up with your heart
beating vigorously. This reaction is normally caused by your blood vessels dilating as your body
thinks of your bad dream as a threat to it. When your body has wider capillaries, they release more
blood and nutrients, which are deployed to your organs making it easier to deal with any kind of
attack. The attack response team is organized by HPA axis, which encourages the release of the stress

hormone called cortisol. This stress hormone originates from your adrenal glands.
When cortisol is released to the body, it immediately starts to pressure the production of insulin
levels in your body, which plays a big role in promoting chronic inflammation. Your body is well
built to deal with psychological stress but the problem comes in when you have to deal with
persistence stress. It will most definitely exhaust your adrenals, your central nervous system, and your
immune system. This will then create a welcoming environment for inflammation to come in.
Over exercising
Physical exercise has always been known to help your body become healthy but in the case of
inflammation, too much of it is dangerous. When you over exercise your body, it creates free radicals
as well as starts breaking down your body tissues. The two scenarios will call upon inflammation for
its healing power. The levels of inflammation might be minimal if you get adequate resting time but
the opposite of this will promote the increase of inflammation to an inflamed level in your body.
Environmental
What we used to call a clean environment is now a thing of the past. Chemical pollution used to be a
very serious offense in the past but nowadays, almost everything is chemical oriented, and that has
increased the air pollution immensely.
Glues, air fresheners, latex, synthetic fibers, adhesives, plastics etc are just some of the huge
collection of chemicals that we expose ourselves to everyday.
With most people working in buildings that have re-circulated air, this increases their risk to being
exposed to various chemicals. As if that is not enough, our bodies also take in pesticides and heavy
metals through the foods, drinks, and even breast milk. All of the above toxins result to you having
crazy and abnormal immune system, which can ultimately cause inflammation.
So what can you do about the joint pain associated with inflammation? Well, the good news is that
you are what you eat. As such, eating foods rich in anti-inflammatory properties and avoiding foods
that trigger inflammation can make losing weight a lot easier, slow down the aging process, prevent
diseases, and reduce joint pain.
An anti-inflammatory diet places emphasis on foods high in antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids, and
mono saturated fats; these three elements have a reputation of reducing inflammation. Keeping an antiinflammation diet low in sugar also cools the inflammatory fires by keeping blood-sugar levels in
check. To help you understand more of this, lets discuss it more in the next chapter.

Chapter 3: Diet & Inflammation


Although inflammation is a fairly normal body response mechanism, the truth is that chronic
inflammation is harmful to the cells, organs, tissues and cells. The good news is that diet has a
profound effect on inflammation. As such, if you are to fight inflammation, your best weapon would
be to use diet to fight chronic inflammation.
Actually, food has been proven to fuel or even slow down various anti-inflammatory responses. For
example, if you take a diet high in trans-fatty acids, refined carbohydrates and sugars, your body is
bound to produce inflammatory chemicals, which might end up damaging the cells. On the contrary, if
your diet is rich in veggies, whole grains and omega 3 fatty acids, you reverse the inflammatory
process and encourage healing. In fact, even if you are suffering from arthritis, using diet can be your
best weapon to alleviate the symptoms.
To help you understand this better, we will categorize the foods according to which ones you should
eat and those you should avoid. If you probably are very keen to notice, some foods tend to worsen
your inflammation while others tend to alleviate inflammation. Lets start with the foods that trigger
inflammation that you should avoid:

Foods That Trigger Inflammation


1. Refined carbohydrates
The refined carbohydrates mainly found in processed cakes, cookies, breads, and fast foods often
cause an increased level of insulin production. This in turn triggers the release of eicosanoids to react
to the situation. There are 2 types of eicosanoids i.e. those, which promote inflammation (proinflammation) and tissue damage and those that fight inflammation (anti-inflammatory) in order to
promote healing. It is important that you have these 2 in perfect balance if you are to be healthy. But
unfortunately, many of us produce too many of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids that cause heightened
levels of chronic/silent inflammation that could end up causing some of the chronic diseases weve
discussed above. You need to understand that eicosanoids form an important element of the immune
system such that if you knock them out, you are simply causing harm to the immune system. This is
what happens when you have immune deficiency diseases like AIDs. Severe imbalance of
eicosanoids is responsible for causing different chronic disorders that usually affect the immune
function, brain and the heart.
Excessive production of insulin also results in increased production of arachidonic acid (AA), which
is the building block for any pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. To fight the problem, you have to take
foods that ensure that you have stable levels of insulin in the body to eliminate the production of proinflammatory eicosanoids.
Additionally, when you consume high amounts of foods with refined sugars, this results to an increase
in Advanced Glycation End-product, a type of toxin that has been observed to damage body proteins,
and increase the number of cytokines within the body as the body tries to fight such toxins. Depending
on where the AGE is located, you might develop silent/chronic inflammation. Thats why you should
avoid processed foods high in refined sugars, fried, heated or grilled food. If you avoid them, you
will also find it easy to lose weight.
2. Gluten
Gluten is found in wheat, barley, rye, and any foods made using these ingredients. Most people dont
know this but our bodies tend to be sensitive to gluten. Research has shown that gluten is considered a
foreign substance by our bodies. This means whenever the substance is introduced to your body, your
inflammatory response is activated. The resulting process after that is inflammation in your digestive
tract, which goes on to hinder your ability to take in nutrients. Continuous intake of gluten-rich foods
can actually result to leaky gut syndrome. As such, if you think you have any inflammation problem,
you should cut down on foods containing gluten (or maybe go on a gluten free diet) to improve your
health.
3. Hydrogenated and trans-fats
Majority of polyunsaturated vegetable oils such as corn, soy, peanut, sunflower, and safflower are
normally high in linoleic acid. This acid originates from omega-6 essential fatty acids that your body
converts to arachidonic acid, another omega-6 fatty acid, which has been discovered to trigger
inflammation especially given that it has no trace of omega-3s to soothe inflammation.
It is important to eat foods that trigger the production of anti-inflammatory eicosanoids i.e. those rich
in long chain omega 3 fatty acids (Omega-3 is found in coldwater fish and flaxseed). Additionally,

you have to reduce intake of omega 6 fatty acids found in safflower, sunflower, soybean, and corn
vegetable oils. Omega 6 fatty acids usually cause pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, which you are trying
to avoid. You should opt for vegetable oils like olive oil, coconut oil, and flax seeds. You should
also try flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, avocados, and nuts to fight joint pain.
You should as well avoid processed fats given that these have been broken down and oxidized
making them to have high levels of free radicals, which have been proven to trigger inflammation.
Instead, you should consume foods like avocado, nuts, coconut, seeds and ghee if you want to
consume fat that are healthy for your body.
4. Conventional dairy products
The level of acidity in conventional dairy products lands them on this list. The hormones, toxins, and
antibiotics that the cows are normally fed with create a very high acidity level in their dairy products.
Lets take an example of milk, which is commonly consumed; people take this product and treat it by
heating and adding additives substances which make it very acidic. When these products are taken in
the body, they cause major inflammation, which can result to various complications. Thats why
intake of dairy products is likely to lead to painful irritation around the joints. Avoid dairy products
and start taking more of plant-based proteins.
5. Imbalance of omega fatty acids
In order to be healthy, it is crucial that you know how to balance your omega 6 fatty acid with omega3
fatty acid intake. Omega 3 fatty acids are known to inspire the production of anti-inflammatory
prostaglandins and omega 6 fatty acids activate COX-2 enzyme, which promotes the production of
inflammatory prostaglandins. These two fatty acids should be taken with a proper ratio of 1:1 if you
want your body to remain healthy. A common mistake that people make is to take in more omega 6
fatty acids, which float in your bloodstream blocking the anti-inflammatory actions that are inferior
because the level of omega 3 intake is low. This results to inflammation in the body.
6. Sugar
The sugar industries have been selling us on the idea that sugar is a natural product. This has been a
lie since all the sugarcane cells are always eliminated during the refinery process. It loses some of its
minerals like iron, which are the beneficial parts that your body needs. This artificial sweetener is a
huge threat to your health since it supports inflammation.
7. Grain fed meat
These are animals, which are normally kept in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). The
meat produced from these animals is unhealthy because they do not graze in natural outdoor
conditions. They are instead raised by hormones, antibiotics and other drugs. To make the matters
worse, they are processed by colorings, artificial flavorings, and preservatives which are all
components that trigger inflammation in the body.
8. Alcohol and Tobacco
These two have been linked with joint pain. For starters, smoking is closely connected to rheumatoid
arthritis while alcohol consumption is closely connected to gout. As such, to avoid these
complications, you have to stop or at least minimize your intake of alcohol and tobacco.

9. Salt and preservatives


Many of the processed foods we have today are high in salts, preservatives and other chemical
substances, which all trigger inflammation. As such, if you are to fight inflammation successfully, you
should avoid or at least minimize salt and preservatives intake. You should even insist on taking
homemade meals with no additives. Additionally, stop taking microwave meals since these are high
in sodium, which has been shown to trigger inflammation.
Other foods to avoid are:
Non-natural juices
Soft drinks like sodas
Food additives like stabilizers, flavor enhancer, colors, and preservatives.
You should as well be mindful of what you put on your plate. Here are some of the best food you
should include in your diet.

Foods That Help You Fight Inflammation


Green leafy vegetables: Green leafy vegetables contain folate, and calcium that supports bone
health protecting against cognitive decline. Diets high in cruciferous veggies such a cabbage and
broccoli can prevent inflammation, and reduce the risks of memory loss and cancer.
Whole Grains: Whole grains are rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They can
therefore lower the risk of age related illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Because
the body digests them slowly compared to processed grains, they prevent high blood sugar levels and
diabetes.
Berries: Cranberries, blueberries, and blackberries are rich in antioxidant compounds called
anthocyanins. Anthocyanins have shown to slow down the growth of certain cancers as well as
improve the functioning of your brain, muscle tone, and balance.
Olive Oil: Olive oil is rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mono saturated fats. Olive oil
lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and age related cognitive decline.
Tomatoes: Tomatoes and other red fruits contain lycopene, an anti-oxidant compound that maintains
youthful skin and texture and may reduce the risk of some types of cancer including, stomach, lung and
prostate cancer and heart disease.
Red Grapes: Grapes contain an antioxidant called resveratrol that has anti-inflammatory properties
and anti-coagulant properties. This explains why red wine and purple grape juices promote heart
health.
Fish: Oily fish provides omega-3 fatty acid that helps combat inflammation. If you eat several weekly
servings of oily fish, you reduce your risk of stroke and Alzheimers disease.
Other foods that you can use to fight inflammation include:
Soy
Coconut/coconut oil
Turnips
Dark green vegetables (like broccoli, zucchini, cucumber, and celery)
Omega 3 fatty acid rich foods (e.g. fish like: boiled or baked tuna, salmon, sardines, and
mackerel: and avocados, olives, hemp seeds, walnuts and chia seeds)
Asian mushrooms (lobster, oyster, Portobello, shiitake and maitake)
Sea foods like (e.g. seaweed, shellfish, salmon, sardines, and mackerel)
Papaya
Beans
Dark chocolate
Pineapple
Apples

Spirulina
Tea- green tea
Traditional food and fermented vegetables

Herbs and Spices: With every spoon of healing herbs and spices, you chose life-enhancing tastes,
while at the same time, helping your body keep inflammation at bay. Spices play an important antiinflammatory role. Spices you should include in your diet are:
Turmeric: This yellow spice has been used for centuries as medicine to treat
infections, wounds, liver disease, and colds. It contains the compound curcumin that
relieves inflammation in the body.
Cinnamon: Cinnamon is more than just a delicious additive to your cake. Cinnamon
contains anti-inflammatory properties that help ease swelling.
Garlic: The anti-inflammatory properties of garlic have proven to ease the
symptoms of arthritis.
Cayenne Pepper: All chilies contain a natural compound called capsaicinoids;
cayenne pepper is no exception. Capsaicinoids give the spicy fruit its antiinflammatory properties. Cayenne has long found use as a digestive aid but
recently, it has shown to ease pain associated with arthritis and headaches.
Cloves: Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, add cloves to baked food to
treat nausea, stomach upset, and mouth and throat inflammation.
Ginger: Traditionally, ginger has found uses in treating stomach upsets, headaches,
and infections. Recently, scientific studies have proven ginger has antiinflammatory properties.
Cilantro: Besides being a good source of dietary fiber, magnesium, and iron,
cilantro contains anti-inflammatory properties, and may alleviate inflammatory
conditions such as arthritis and minor swelling.
Other herbs and spices that you can use to fight inflammation include:
Basil
Oregano
White willow bark.

Chapter 4: Common Health Foods That Cause Inflammation


The following are very common in most diets. While they appear as healthy food choices, they are
potent to inflammation and often instigate it.
1. Dairy Products: We all know how good dairy products are especially since they are
high in calcium, healthy bacteria and vitamins. However, dairy products can worsen
inflammation. Because the body does not process high levels of proteins or sugar very
well, when you consume dairy products, your body treats them as foreign invaders and
counters their presence in your body with inflammatory response.
2. Nuts: We have all hard how great nuts are since they contain healthy fats. However,
nuts can also worsen inflammation. If you suffer from osteoarthritis, the histamine
found in nuts can actually attack your joints and this can lead to painful inflammation.
3. Citrus Fruits: Most of us love citrus fruits but do you know that if you have a citrus
allergy, these citrus fruits can cause inflammation and lead to the development of
chronic disease.
4. Vegetable Oil: Vegetable oils are high in omega 6 fats that reduce your bodys critical
balance of omega 3 to omega 6 fats. Inflammation results when your body gets out of
balance. Therefore, to deal with this, it is better to cook with small amounts of coconut
oil due to its medium chain triglycerides. Olive oil is also good if you use it in small
amounts but avoid soybean, corn, and products containing them.
5. Red Meat: As much as protein is great for the body, it is critical that you are aware of
your sources of protein. For instance, red meat may not be your best source of protein
if suffering from inflammation. This is because when you eat red meat, it produces a
chemical called neu5gc, a compound that the body produces an inflammatory immunity
response to.
6. Processed Corn: Food production companies and Industries use corn derivatives such
as corn oil, cornstarch, and corn syrup because it is cheaper and plentiful compared to
unrefined corn. In its refined form, corn spikes level of glucose in the body, leading to
an increased level of insulin and therefore inflammation.
7. Wheat, Rye, And Barley: These grains contain gluten, which is an allergen. When an
allergen enters your body, the body responds with an inflammatory immune response.
8. A Glass of Wine: A bottle of beer or a glass of wine has many health benefits if
consumed in moderation. Overconsumption of alcohol will increase your bodys
inflammation response.
9. Tropical Fruits: Tropical fruits typically have a higher fructose content compared
to other fruits. If you are suffering from diabetes, limit your intake of fruits such
mangoes, papayas, and oranges to once a week.

10.
Caffeine: Caffeine increases the stress hormones called catecholamine. This
stress response stimulates the productions of cortisol, with the result being an
increased insulin levels. High levels of insulin increase inflammation.

Chapter 5: Using Anti-Inflammation Food To Stop Skin Aging


And Have Glowing Skin
Inflammation is one of the root causes of skin aging. As we saw earlier, Inflammation is our bodys
way of starting the healing process. Wounds and infections would not heal without it. It is therefore a
very important part of skin regeneration.
When inflammation becomes chronic and serves no purpose, it damages your body and therefore your
skin. Besides negatively affecting your health, chronic inflammation causes premature aging, rosacea,
and eczema just to name a few. Inflammation has 5 principal steps: Redness, heat, swelling, pain, and
loss of function, all of which are of great value to the skin regeneration process. When the stage of
inflammation disrupts the barrier of your skin, the platelets release pro-inflammatory molecules and
other pro-youth factors to heal and rebuild the new area.
Certain esthetic treatments trigger the acute inflammation response. It is critical to replenish the skin
with skin-building oxidants and growth factors. Inflammation caused by radicals induces degradation
of cells and causes reduction of collagen production. With time, this inhibits your bodys ability to
repair itself naturally, which in turn causes visual signs of aging. It is important, as much as possible,
to eliminate chances of exposure to free radicals. This includes reducing stress, limiting sun
exposure, not smoking, and increasing your sleep.
It is necessary to also go deeper and address inflammation that causes skin complications. Therefore,
apart from the Mediterranean anti-inflammatory diet, which has plenty of grains, fruits, and
vegetables, there are many other ways to prevent premature aging. The following tips should guide
you:
1. Get the right, inflammation-reducing supplements. Taking vitamins and mineral
supplements that contain vitamin C and E and alpha lipoic can help combat the damages
wrought on your body and skin by free radicals.
2. Stay physically active to lower inflammation in your body. Get at least 45 minutes of
moderate-intensity aerobic exercise 5 or more times a week to reduce inflammation.
3. Use beauty products with anti-inflammatory properties to prevent premature aging.
These include topical preparations containing vitamin C or E. These ingredients help
block free-radical damage and therefore prevent premature aging. Skin products
containing mushroom extract, ginger, ginseng, or alpha lipoic acid may reduce
inflammation and protect cell structure.
Now that we have a clear understanding of inflammation, the role it plays in the body, and the role
your diet plays in the control of chronic inflammation, let us look at some amazing recipes that are
great for dealing with inflammation. Before we discuss the recipes, we will start by discussing about
the best way to prepare anti-inflammation foods.

Chapter 6: How To Prepare Anti-Inflammation Food


Having an idea of what foods cause inflammation can help you avoid them. By avoiding inflammatory
instigating foods, you will be treating, and preventing inflammation at the same time. It is important to
note that embracing an anti-inflammation diet not only entail avoiding foods that cause inflammation
but also how you cook anti-inflammatory foods also plays a role in their beneficial effects on chronic
inflammation. If you cook the right food using the wrong way, you end up limiting their beneficial
effects.
First, discard all your non-stick pans and replace them with iron pots; this will ensure you do not
have excessive iron in your body, which prevents cancer because too much iron is extremely toxic to
your body.
Grilling and barbeque are also toxic cooking methods. When foods brown, something that happens
when foods are on a barbeque, it means that more oxidation and glycation has taken place.
Microwaving: Avoid this cooking method as the high heat from this appliance destroys the nutrients
in all types of foods.
Below are the best ways to prepare anti-inflammatory foods and derive the most benefits.
Steaming: Marinate your foods in herbs such as sage and rosemary before steaming, and add spices
such as turmeric and ginger to your food while steaming to infuse flavor in the food. Use a bamboo
steamer, a vegetable, or rice steamer and be careful not to overcook the vegetables, fish, or any
seafood.
Stir-Frying: This method is great for vegetables for them to retain their beneficial nutrients. For best
results, you have to cook your food with small amounts of oil at very high temperatures so that the
food absorbs very little oil.
Baking: Place your food at the center of a ceramic or glass-baking dish leaving room around the
sides for circulation of hot air. Set your vegetables or fish under the beam to add moisture and
enhance the flavor.
Poaching: This cooking method does not require any additional fats such as oil. The poaching liquid
here could be water or stock. It requires that you bring your poaching liquid to a boil, and then add
your meat, seafood, or vegies. For low-fat flavorful results, once boiling, and after adding your
seafood, veggies, or meat, reduce the heat, and then simmer until done. You can save the poaching
liquid and use it as the base for a soup.
Grilling and Broiling: Reserve this cooking method for vegetables and fish that do not require a lot
of cooking time. Grilling and boiling meats involves using excessive temperatures that cause the
proteins and fats to turn into HAs that raise certain risks of cancer.
In addition to preparing your food right to derive their benefits, you should also be aware of some
foods that are considered healthy but can actually cause inflammation. Let us look at this in depth in
the following chapter.
