Last year the Maximalist started an anti-inflammation diet based on the information found at NutritionData.com. I felt better and actually lost a few pounds. When I broke my foot while on it, I required no pain meds and had nearly no inflammation. It was a joy. I did, however, give up sugary foods and starch of all stripes. After a few days it became rather easy to do, so I am going to try it again.
What is high in anti-inflamation properties, you might ask? Wild caught salmon, tuna and cod, for starts. Chicken is pretty neutral if defatted and tofu is ok, so I got protein galore. I also added fish oil (salmon and krill) and cayenne and turmeric supplements. Peppers, onions garlic and cruciferous vegetables are also fine for you so the Maximalist was in her spicy glory. Greens like kale, spinach and mustard are exceptional sources and I like them. Tomatoes are acceptable, so all was well.
I don't know why I ever stopped? It is time to begin again. Today I have not violated that regimen, so I am counting today. Who needs pasta and sugar anyways? One is healthier without it despite it's yumminess. Oh, olive and almond oils are good too, so the brussel sprouts need not be raw or soggy and boiled.
Will let you know how I do.
