Cutting Out or Back on White Foods

In the anti-inflammatory search, cutting back on the white foods in your diet can certainly help. White foods are things like milk, sugar and refined grains.

Dairy and white flour can kick the inflammatory process into high gear. The gut sees these as invaders which makes the immune system go into action with an inflammatory response. Those of you have celiac disease or are lactose intolerant are aware of the problem because when you eat these foods you begin to not feel well almost immediately.

There is an exception to the diary rule and that is eggs. Especially those that are from free range chickens. These are high in omega 3.
