When food causes pain

We've all experienced the agony of overeating. But do our eating habit should be really blamed for arthritis, muscle pain, asthma and skin disorders?
Scientists have found a strong relationship between pain and food choices.

About 70% of our immune cells are leukocytes that are located in the digestive tract, so they come in daily contact with the food we eat. If the immune system may encourage bacteria from food or food as it marks an allergen or suffers from imbalance of important hormones such as insulin, it may include an alarm for the inflammation.
Although inflammation is an important part of the process of physical healing, chronic inflammation is the root of many deadly diseases. The good thing is that, with a good diet plan, we can fully heal and to prevent that.


Here are five ways to reduce inflammation:
Remove the flour and sugar, from your diet

White flour is prime carbohydrate. With the help of digestive enzymes in your mouth turns into sugar. A high amount of sugar in the diet increases the amount of final product (Advanced Glycation End / AGE), produced by binding to the protein molecules of glucose, so he gets wrecked (rigid and rigid structure).
As the body tries to break down these harmful AGE's, immune system cells secrete "couriers" for inflammation - cytokines.

Depending on where the AGE's occurred and of your genetic predisposition, it can lead to arthritis, cataracts, heart disease, poor memory or optional leather.
Avoid foods to which you may be sensitive or allergic

If you eat foods to which you are allergic to lead to destabilization of insulin and low blood sugar levels which in turn, increases inflammation. High levels of insulin increases the levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, which then pushes the body to retain fat rather than burn it for energy. Increased fat around the waist is an indicator of chronic inflammation.
Food allergies also may stimulate mast cells to relax histamine, which causes redness and swelling is also associated with inflammation.
You need to create an individual plan of diet to avoid foods to which you are allergic. The most common allergens are wheat, gluten, corn, dairy products, sugar and potatoes.
Longer eating

Red radishes, purple cabbage and dark green vegetables are rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants that help prevent inflammation. Eat broccoli, cauliflower, kale and cake; sulfur in this family of vegetables helps to cleanse the liver.
One study published in the Journal of Nutrition showed that eating berries every day can significantly reduce inflammation.

Eat lean protein
Beans, chicken, turkey and deer are excellent sources of lean protein. Harvard School of Public Health announced in March a study that linked the consumption of red meat (beef, pork and lamb) with a higher risk of early death.

Red meat has a high amount of arachidonic acid that can cause inflammation.
Oil Change

Rectified Avoid trans-fats, omega-6 oils (soya and maize), and use olive for cooking. Meat from cattle fed on pasture, oils of flax and hemp, wild salmon or smaller fish like herring, mackerel and sardines are the best choice for foods that prevent inflammation.
