Inflammation is being linked to most chronic disease states such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and even depression.  What on earth is fueling all of this inflammation in our bodies?  What about all of the wrong foods in our daily diets such as soft drinks, white flour, white sugar, and most of the common vegetable oils and trans fats.  What on earth can we do to combat this disease producing inflammation?   Why not try real food diets that includes lots of fresh fruits and vegetables especially green leafy vegetables and lots of pure clean water.  Good fats should also be included and can actually decrease inflammation such as using coconut oil and eating salmon and fish that are high in omega 3 fatty acids.  The Standard American Diet is  SAD and we need to reevaluate what we are eating and how it is impacting our health.  I know that none of us have perfect diets but lets aim for an 80-20 ratio making 80% of our diet things that are actually nutrient dense and the other 20% can be special treats.  Let food be our medicine and medicine be our food.  If we have this kind of attitude that food is meant to improve our health we will do our research and find the foods that will add to our health instead of subtracting.  This is how we will conquer the great beast inflammation and improve our quality of life.
