Major Nutritional Factors for Inflammatory Foods
When it comes to your diet there are several major factors that play a role in chronic inflammation. When we consume food it will have an impact on our physiology. These 3 factors are key considerations when it comes to the foods we choose. Lets take a look at each.
Blood Sugar Impact
An inflammatory diet with too much sugar may lead to blood sugar imbalances in your body. This may cause inflammation and the overproduction of inflammatory cytokines increasing your risk of insulin resistance and elevated blood sugar levels leading to further inflammation, pain, and disease(6, 7).

Damaged Fats in Inflammatory Foods
Your body needs fats for fuel, however, not all fats are created equal. Polyunsaturated fats, such as corn, soybean, safflower, and other vegetable oils are highly unstable and are prone to oxidation when exposed to heat, light, or air.
During the cooking process they also become damaged or oxidized, making them even more inflammatory and destructive to your health(8). These oils are particularly bad for the endothelial lining of your blood vessels and for your skin: they greatly contribute to the formation ofacne, aged spots, and wrinkles.
Chemical Toxins in Inflammatory Foods
Environmental toxins are everywhere, in our air, food, water, and products. Long-term exposure to environmental toxins may overwhelm your immune system and increase chronic inflammation. An inflammatory diet with lots of processed, refined, and non-organic foods are high in toxins.
Choosing an anti-inflammatory, organic, and healing diet, however, may lowerinflammation. Furthermore, its important that you use organic, natural, or homemade products, and spend time in nature breathing fresh air.
Health begins in the Mouth and end in the Colon:
1. Avoid sugary foods
When bacteria in the mouth break down simple sugars, they produce acids that can erode tooth enamel, opening the door to decay.
Sugary drinks, including soft drinks and fruit drinks, pose a special threat because people tend to sip them, raising acid levels over a long period of time.
And carbonated drinks may make matters worse, since carbonation also increases acidity. Sticky candies are another culprit, because they linger on teeth surfaces.
2. Drink more water
Water continues to be the best beverage for your overall health — including oral health. Also, as a rule of thumb, many experts recommend drinking water after every meal.
This can help wash out some of the negative effects of sticky and acidic foods and beverages in between brushes.
3. Eat crunchy fruits and vegetables
Ready-to-eat foods are convenient, but perhaps not so much when it comes to your teeth.
Eating fresh, crunchy produce not only contains more healthy fiber, but it’s also the best choice for your teeth.
Try to avoid the overly mushy processed stuff, stop cutting things into tiny pieces, and get those jaws working!
4. Limit sugary and acidic foods
Ultimately, sugar converts into acid in the mouth, which can then erode the enamel of your teeth. These acids are what lead to cavities.
Acidic fruits, teas, and coffee can also wear down tooth enamel.
While you don’t necessarily have to avoid such foods altogether, it doesn’t hurt to be mindful.
5. Take the Right Vitamins
Vitamins are an overall important requirement for healthy teeth and gums. The vitamins help in repairing and building connectivity within the tissues.
It is important for the periodontal health of the gums and teeth.
Vitamins also can prevent canker sores from arising and causing pain in your teeth.
My life-time vision is that of a world where everybody can easily and affordably support the natural health of their teeth and gums.
That’s why I’ve spent most of my research activity trying and testing various ways that could really make a positive impact on people’s lives.
And after many trials, I’ve perfected a simple, yet powerful formula, consisting of Berberine, Milk Thistle, Artichoke, Chanca Piedra, Yarrow, Beetroot Dandelion, Alfalfa, Jujube seeds, Zinc and many other powerful natural ingredients, such as Chicory Root, Celery Seed, Burdock Root and Yellow Dock.
I asked one of my friends who has crossed 70 & is heading to 80 what sort of changes he is feeling in himself?
He sent me the following very interesting lines, which I would like to share with you ….
#1 After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, now I have started loving myself.
#2 I just realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.
#3 I now stopped bargaining with vegetables & fruits vendors. A few pennies more is not going to burn a hole in my pocket but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.
#4 I pay my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than me
#5 I stopped telling the elderly that they’ve already narrated that story many times. The story makes them walk down the memory lane & relive the past.
#6 I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.
#7 I give compliments freely & generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say “Thank You”
#8 I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances.
#9 I walk away from people who don’t value me. They might not know my worth, but I do.
#10 I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.
#11 I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It’s my emotions that make me human.
#12 I have learned that it’s better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships I will never be alone.
#13 I have learned to live each day as if it’s the last. After all, it might be the last.
#14 I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!ï¿
