Inflammation in its most natural sense is actually a good thing – it helps us fight off sudden injuries or infection. But too much inflammation is another story.
Many chronic conditions such as cancer, arthritis, diabetes and obesity have been linked to inflammation.
But what you also may not know is the certain foods lead to inflammation. Many of the foods you eat on a regular basis can actually be creating a problem which leads to serious health issues.
So here’s some foods that can lead to unhealthy inflammation – foods that you should consider eliminating from your diet completely.
FOODS HIGH IN OMEGA-6 FATS
Most vegetable oils found in most processed foods – including the likes of sesame oil and sunflower oil – are high in omega-6 fats that are highly inflammatory. You’ll find these oils in many bagels, crackers, cookies and bread.
Besides reducing these kinds of inflammation-causing foods in our diet, we can balance them with omega-3 fats, a key nutrient in reducing inflammation in the body. The proper ratio of omega-6 foods to omega-3s should be around 2:1. Some foods that are high in omega-3s are:
- Salmon, mackerel and other cold water fish
- Eggs enriched with omega-3s
- Liver
- Grass-fed beef
- Macadamia nuts
- Walnuts
- Leafy vegetables
