Food that fight inflammation
This time of year everyone wants to slim down to look and feel their best. I have heard many quotes like “abs are made in the kitchen” and “you can’t out run a bad diet” or “you are what you eat.” Heard any of these? They are all true but more importantly than looks is how do you feel? Did you know that many of the foods you eat are actually making you hurt? Many foods cause inflammation. Inflammation in arteries causes heart disease. Inflammation in joints cause pain. Even skin can become inflamed. Find out what these foods are that are making you hurt so that you can reduce them in your daily diet. If you are having a hard time including enough of the anti-inflammatory food in your diet stop by and we can help you start a whole food supplement from Standard Process.
