Looking for a diet to reduce inflammation? Then look no further. In this article, I hope to explain the best possible low inflammation diet.
Generally, your diet to reduce inflammation must follow 2 steps:
– Lower the number of foods containing omega 6.
– Eat more foods rich in omega 3.
Reducing omega 6
Our Western diets contain many foods rich in omega 6, from processed to fried food. Many foods labeled “convenience food” are also high in omega 6.
You will also need to lower your intake of refined foods and sugar. But why do you need to cut down on omega 6?
Basically, we have much more omega 6 in our body than omega 3, which is bad because it results in excess inflammation. It is made even worse by the fact that our typical ratio could be twenty or fifty times as much omega 6 as omega 3.
This is why we need to cut down on omega 6 and increase our intake of omega 3.
Increasing omega 3
The best way to do this is to eat foods rich in omega 3 (nuts, plants, fish.) The source of food richest in omega 3 is, however, fatty fish.
This kind of fish includes tuna, salmon, Hoki, sardines, halibut, and mackerel. But you can only eat these 2 or 3 times a week due to the fact that they may contain harmful chemicals.
Why do fish contain harmful chemicals? Because they pick them up from the polluted waters that they swim in.
Therefore, to avoid this, you could use an omega 3 fish supplement instead. These can be purified of these harmful contaminants (like lead and mercury) so that they are safe to consume.
This is achieved through a process called molecular distillation, which purifies the oil in the capsule.
Now that you are armed with this information you can begin to plan your diet to reduce inflammation. Cutting down will be hard but increasing your omega 3 is easy with a supplement.
All you have to do is pop 2 capsules in your mouth each day. Simple.
