If you have body aches, joint pain, lacking energy or arthritis read this -

I'm only on day 4 and the change is dramatic..

So recently I changed my diet to an anti-inflammatory diet and it has done miracles for my condition which is - body aches and pains - pain in my hands and feet like arthritis, knees, elbows, back and my spine at the base of my neck. When it is bad my entire body aches and I felt debilitated and almost unable to get out of bed. Just really horrible..

I was in shock how dramatic the change in how I felt was. My hands no longer felt swollen and pain everywhere diminished.

So what I do ?

It turns out in almost everything you eat, there are certain toxins. Why is that? The reason is that most plants developed certain toxins which deter animals from eating them.

Some of these things are your staple foods, and may make up the majority of what you eat. I was shocked when I first read about it because you get the impression that these are good for you. Perhaps for some people they can be good, but for many they are devastating and cause havoc throughout your body.

Not everyone is as susceptible to it but upwards of 20% or higher is. I suspect the percentage of people affected is even higher than that. Maybe it is everyone to different degrees. A lot of the damage is created by triggering an autoimmune response which causes your body to damage the lining of your gut which triggers inflammation and prevent nutrients to be taken up. Many diseases are caused by the resulting malnutrition and inflammation. They can cause inflammation by other mechanisms as well.


Which plants cause this havoc?

In general:

- All seeds from grasses AKA grains: Wheat, Corn, Rice, Oats, Rye, Barley and all their products (Yes that would include beer!, bread, pastries, etc.)

- All nuts and seeds in general

- All legumes (Beans, lentil, peas, etc.)

- Milk (Milk contains a protein called Casein that can cause inflammation)

- Nightshade vegetables (potato, tomato, eggplant, peppers, etc)

- All animals that feed on corn and soy.

- Alcohol


So that about everything - all food and everything you love!


So what do you eat?

Basically you eat - Tubers other than potato, Wild fish, Pasture raised or wild meat, Vegetables other than Nightshades, Fruit in moderation (since high blood sugar levels also trigger inflammation.)

** High blood sugar levels also trigger inflammation so you want to moderate anything that is highly glycemic or high in sugar or simple carbs.


At first I thought it would be difficult but it turned out to be much easier than expected.

My starches are various tubers and squash family vegetables. These are great steamed. You can saute in a pan w olive oil or ghee later if you want.

I can't afford pasture raised or grassfed meats all the time but thats OK. I think the big ones to avoid is - grains, legumes and milk.

Try it for a month see how you feel.
