5 Steps to Put Out the Fire of Inflammation in the Body
4. Listen to Reactions to Food You Have
One way many people forget to reduce inflammation naturally is to listen to their bodies. If you have a food intolerance, it will lead to inflammation in the digestive system and eventually your entire body. When your body can’t break down food efficiently, the immune system sends out reactions that the food is an invader. This can lead to leaky gut syndrome and chronic inflammation, which can even lead to an autoimmune disease.
Some of the worst problematic foods are the major allergens (wheat, dairy, gluten, yeast, corn, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, and shellfish) but there are others, too. If you eat something that doesn’t make you feel well, listen to your body and opt for something else. Some especially easy to digest foods that are anti-inflammatory and very healing include cooked greens, wild rice, sweet potatoes, ginger, turmeric, and most green vegetables.
