Need An Anti Inflammation Diet?
After reading “The Great Cholesterol Lie” ebook, I have one major complaint. It’s called “The Great Cholesterol Lie” because the author, Dr. Dwight Lundell, is a heart surgeon and he wrote it to teach people how to keep from getting heart disease. That’s all well and good, but the title doesn’t go far enough. This book isn’t just for people trying to prevent heart disease. It should be required reading for anyone trying to stay healthy in today’s world of junk food and popping pills for symptoms.
See, the whole premise behind this ebook is that cholesterol is not the enemy when it comes to heart disease. Nope, it’s inflammation. But inflammation isn’t just tied to heart disease. In reality, it’s tied to almost every disease or condition out there in one way or another, including:
- Alzheimer’s
- Arthritis
- Cancer
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Diabetes Type 2
- Fibromyalgia
- Hypertension
- Impaired Immune Response
- Infections Following Wounds
- Liver Disease
- Pancreatitis
- Stroke
I could go on and on. The point is, chronic inflammation is a contributing factor to a whole lot of ailments.
You Need An Anti Inflammation Diet!
So why am I telling you all this on a health food blog?
Because good health food is a good anti inflammation diet!
“The Great Cholesterol Lie” ebook is full of information and ideas on how to change your lifestyle and get rid of the inflammation, and healthy eating is certainly a big part of that.
There are chapters explaining how the “eating a low fat diet is good for you” myth got started, and why inflammation is the culprit instead. The book explains exactly why the carbohydrate craze and low-fat diets are a problem.
The Whole Picture On How To Fight Inflammation
But low-fat diets aren’t the only problem. While learning to eat the right kind of fats is important, it’s also essential to know about the problems associated with too much sugar in your diet, and other factors that impact your health like smoking, hypertension, stress, obesity and vitamin deficiencies.
And just so you know all this isn’t all a figment of Dr. Lundell’s imagination. “The Great Cholesterol Lie” has a bunch of appendices full of studies showing how the wrong cause for heart disease was targeted. Instead of low-fat diets and statin drugs to control cholesterol, we need to be controlling the chronic inflammation so many of us are living with.
And once again, a big part of the answer is to change our diet.
Good health foods to the rescue!
