Also, you might get some insight from an anti-inflammatory diet. It helps some people but not everyone. That’s because many medical conditions, medications, perfumes, food additives, chemicals, heavy metals, etc. you have absorbed also cause inflammation. It is impossible to live in this world without absorbing these things, and sometimes it takes a while to get your body to calm down.
There are many anti-inflammatory diet recipes and cook books available, but in general, you will want to avoid sugar and simple carbohydrates, gluten, processed foods, and eat lots of veggies of various kinds. Eat whole foods, healthy fats, and limit your intake of meat to small portions. If it comes in a package, don’t buy it. All this means that you will be eating at home a lot. Here is a link to Monica Reinegal’s Anti-inflammatory rating system. http://inflammationfactor.com/ She also wrote the Inflammation Free Diet Plan, which you can buy through the link on her website or at your local bookstore. They also offer an ap for your iPhone, and somewhere I’ve even seen a pocket size booklet of IF ratings you can carry with you while shopping.
Also in her book it mentions that organic foods and grass fed meats have a higher anti-inflammatory rating than conventionally raised meats.
You will also want to print off this list or download the ap for your cell phone: EWG’s 2014 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/list.php The farther down the list you go, the less pesticide residue in the produce.
There’s more, but this is a good start. I’m afraid I might have already overwhelmed you.
