2. Note: An anti-inflammatory diet can be challenging in the sense that there are many restricted foods. However, the benefits short-term and long-term are tremendous. The easiest way to con- sider this type of diet is by thinking of the foods you can eat rather than the foods you cannot eat. Foods that are good to eat and actively help to combat inflammation include:


a. Water (not a food but definitely vital!) b. Vegetables: A combination of diverse vegetables that are raw and cooked is ideal.


c. Fruit: Fruit is an important component of a healthy diet. Fruit is comprised of multiple nutrients and enzymes that can promote greater health and combat inflammation. When trying to lose weight, it is important to limit fruit to two servings per day but those servings are particularly helpful and tasty!


d. Natural protein: For those who are not vegetarians, eating ‘natural’ meats is important to gain optimal protein to build a healthy body.


e. Nuts: Nuts can be a very good source of healthy fats. An exception to this is peanuts. Peanuts are highly processed and can be very inflammatory. A great substitute for peanut butter is ‘Sunbutter’ (made out of sunflower seeds).


3. In addition to eating an anti-inflammatory diet, there are ways to reduce our exposure to environmental toxins: a. Replace synthetic cleaners and detergents in your home with natural versions. b. Replace your body products with natural versions. c. Buy food that is organic or natural and free of pesticides and growth hormones.


By decreasing inflammatory foods and exposure to toxins, we can promote greater health by encouraging a healthier gut and im- mune system. When we don’t feel good, it is difficult to feel positive. As our gut becomes healthier, our outlook improves. In addition to changing our foods and lifestyle, there are additional tools that can help in promoting greater health of our body.
