Avoid The Top 3 Causes Of Inflammation (Clinically Proven) - Part 2
FOOD
Your diet and the foods you eat is one of the biggest causes of chronic inflammation. The 5 worst foods being
Sugars - this includes table sugar, syrups, juices and alcohol. This doesn’t include whole fruits.
Alcohol - I consider alcohol a sugar. Wine is grape juice. Alcohol itself causes inflammation throughout the body, starting in the liver and your brain. Sure, a little may reduce it in some studies - but long-term it causes many other negatives.
Bad Fats - this is fake, artificial hydrogenated trans fats. As well as vegetable and seed oils high in omega 6 fats. Foods that typically contain these fats are french fries and fried fast foods, many packaged foods, pastries
Refined carbohydrates - not all carbs are bad. Unfortunately, many of the good tasting ones are, such as candy, snack foods, breads, pasta, pastries, most cereals, and many packaged foods.
Processed Proteins - This is one of the worst that most people never think about. Again, all the good tasting stuff like sausage, hot dogs, bacon, ham, smoked meats, jerky and so forth. Basically, “fake” protein. Oh, I almost forgot one of the worst proteins of all - DAIRY!
And how you cook your food matters too. For example, don’t fry your food.
In a future video, I’ll go deeper into these and other inflammatory foods, more examples, how to quickly spot problem ingredients and why and how these foods are bad for you.

Exercise
Exercise is amazing. Unfortunately, most people don’t exercise daily and worse of all, they don’t MOVE much at all.
And the good news is that the right type of exercise actually helps reduce inflammation and I’ll get into that a bit later.
However, the WRONG type of exercise actually causes chronic inflammation.
And there are two forms of exercise
1 - Aerobic - this is basically cardiovascular. Things like long-distance running and cycling and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), induce high levels of chronic inflammation. This is why you hear runners dying of heart attacks - it’s because of inflammation in the heart, arteries and so forth.
2 - Anaerobic - this is muscle building, resistance exercise. The worst are CrossFit and weight lifting where you’re constantly going to failure and beyond, with heavy weights. Too much volume and intensity cause chronic inflammation.
