FOODS THAT CAUSE INFLAMMATION AND CHRONIC HEALTH ISSUES by BRUCE LARSEN · AUGUST 3, 2015
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

How Your Metabolism Changes in Your 20s, 30s and 40s By Samantha Lefave for Life by Daily Burn
(You high-schoolers haven't experienced this yet... but for us athletes over 20 our bodies start to change... Read on) You remember the moment it hit you: When you realize that, even though you’ve been eating about the same and exercising a fair amount, you’ve put on a few pounds. Or, you came back from vacation only to realize you weren’t bouncing back as quickly as you used to from the fried foods and frozen margaritas (#noregrets). Maybe you’re not entirely sure what’s going on, but you think you have an idea: Your metabolism is slowing down.
And you are probably correct.
Caroline Cederquist, M.D., author of The MD Factor Diet, says that while it’s different for everybody, your metabolism slows down as you age. For most, it starts in your 20s or 30s. For others, it may not happen until your 40s or 50s. Regardless, it’s important to know how your metabolic system works, so you can keep its engines running at full throttle.
