Lifestyle Tips to Combat Inflammation

🤷‍♀️ Did you know you can influence inflammation through your lifestyle?

With inflammation contributing to most chronic illness AND many vague and bizarre symptoms…

Here are some ideas:

🥑 Healthy fats (like nuts, seeds, olive oil, and avocados) reduce inflammation while hydrogenated oils promote it.

🫐 Fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants and polyphenols that protect against inflammation whereas refined sugar does the opposite.

🏋 Exercise lowers inflammatory molecules even in the absence of weight loss.

💤 Sleeping at least 7-8 hours a night produces growth hormones and testosterone to modulate inflammation.

☯️ Yoga or meditation help relieve stress and make the body better able to regulate the inflammatory response.

Do you feel like you have these things dialed in?
