Inflammation

3 ways to treat chronic inflammation - (1) Address Dietary /lifestyle practices causing tissue-damaging oxidative stress

How to Treat CHRONIC (long-term) LOW-LEVEL Inflammation (CLLI)

Also see:  SHORT-Term Anti-inflammatory Treatment

To win the battle against CHRONIC LOW-LEVEL Inflammation (CLLI), you will need to :

(1) Address dietary /lifestyle practices causing tissue-damaging oxidative stress

(2) Enhance elimination of toxins and microbes from the body

(3) Address dietary/lifestyle practices modulating the inflammatory response

 

(1) Address Dietary /lifestyle practices causing tissue-damaging oxidative stress
i.e. REMOVE / MODERATE source of OXIDATIVE damage
Processed food Additives, preservatives, dyes, excess heavy metals, MSG
Excess red meat / dairy (increases homocysteine levels) Homocysteine levels can be modulated - by consuming sufficient B-vitamins (B2, B6, B12, folate) and magnesium
Microwaved food (Oxidants) Microwaves - Not so convenient for your health
Artificial sweeteners Aspartame, sucralose - in diet sodas and usually in sugar-free products
Sickly Sweet
Non-organic food Herbicides, pesticides, Genetically Modified Food (GMOs)
Chlorinated water (==> Disinfection by-products)
Fluoridated water
Drinking, cooking, bathing water
Chlorine  
Fluoride
 
Cured meat (contains nitrates/nitrites) Eat ham, bacon, sausages, salami, Pepperoni in moderation or not at all.

Chlorella
