Inflammatory Foods are Aging Foods

This list is by no means exhaustive, but it will point you in the right direction!

These inflammatory foods are some of the bigger offenders, so peruse the list and see how many of them you're eating and how you might cut them out or eat less. Obviously, do give far greater weight to things like fast food and don't lose sleep over having had a snack of raw carrots!

• Sugary foods and those that contain refined grains such as white flour: cakes, cookies, bagels, waffles, white bread, pasta, etc.
• The straight-up simple sugars: cane sugar, corn sugar, high fructose corn sugar, honey, molasses.
• The 'other' sweeteners, such as aspartame, saccharin, sucralose, etc.
• Refined / packaged / processed foods: if it's already in a bag or bottle and has more than 3 ingredients, you may want to pass!
• Hydrogenated fats aka partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Rule of thumb: If it's not olive oil, flax oil or a small amount of coconut oil, skip it!
• Fast food, fried food, junk food and soda.(Did we need to say that?)
• Dairy products except small amounts of yogurt and/or kefir.
• High glycemic (sweet) root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, beets and turnips.
• Farm raised fish...choose wild caught instead.
• Fatty and processed meats like hotdogs, sandwich meat, sausage, and bacon.

The worst inflammatory foods are actually quite easy to single out. Just give the food you're considering this test: If it contains sugar and/or flour, it's likely going to cause inflammation in your system.
