Cooking your foods at high temperatures...fried foods? This contributes to the forma- tion of damaged protein structures in the body and eventually production of inflam- matory cytokines.

It is recom- mended to eat smaller amounts of beef equal to about 3-4 ounces or about the size of your fist, per serving. Therefore, avoiding French fries, pastries, donuts, chips, crackers, sodas and bottled juices will be of great benefit in reducing your inflamma- tion.

Be cautious of eating foods in restaurants that may contain “hidden ingredients” and eliminate eat- ing fast foods. Any food that you eat that causes a reaction can produce an inflam- matory response #i.e. gluten, a protein in wheat and casein a protein in dairy#

Candida, parasites, toxin-producing bacteria and viruses persisting in our body for months to years may trigger chronic inflammation especially in our digestive system.
