Addressing Inflammation With Diet And Lifestyle

A Mediterranean diet includes: Beans Fish Fresh fruits and vegetables Herbs Nuts and seeds Olive Oil Whole Grains — Limited amounts of red meats and dairy No artificial chemicals Recommended Anti-Inflammatory Foods

The following information provides an excellent starting point for identifying anti-inflammatory foods and beverages to incorporate into your nutrition plan. Use this practical guide to create meal plans according to your tastes, tolerances, and preferences. There is a trial-and-error phase when trying new, healing foods. As you get the processed junk out, your palate will adapt. Most people come to crave real food as they eliminate inflammation-causing foods.

We’ve established a link between disease and inflammation, and research suggesting a total diet and lifestyle approach is one of the best prescriptions for reducing inflammation and other risk factors for disease. This basic starting point allows our bodies to heal, repair, and rebuild.

One of the biggest factors that helps control inflammation is the food you eat. Certain foods promote inflammation, while others stop it. There is no one-size-fits-all anti-inflammatory diet. In a nutshell, to move toward an anti-inflammatory diet, we primarily move away from the overly processed Standard American Diet (appropriately called SAD), and move toward the ancient eating patterns of the Mediterranean diet.

Numerous resources promote anti-inflammatory eating, and each has its own spin. One noted expert is Andrew Weil, M.D., whose anti-inflammatory food pyramid is an excellent dietary guide. Our dietitian, Monica Pelle, R.D., adheres to similar recommendations in her lists of anti-inflammatory foods that follow. Her diet recommendations focus on plant-based foods, because phytochemicals—natural chemicals found in the plants—are believed to help reduce inflammation. Such anti-inflammatory foods can regulate the immune system and change the way inflammation affects our bodies and our lives.

Incline Dumbbell Fly or Cable Crossover (10-12 Reps Each)

Step 1

Set the bench position to a 30-degree angle, which is optimal. If using dumbbells, start with the dumbbells raised over your chest, with your palms facing each other and elbows slightly bent. If using cables, stand with one foot forward for balance and grip the handles in the same position as you would the dumbbells.

Step 2

To begin the repetition, open your arms wide and bend your elbows slightly more as you stretch your chest.

Step 3

At the widest position, your elbows should be slightly bent to stretch your chest and your hands should not go past your shoulders to avoid injury.

Step 4

Squeeze your chest as you continue through an arcing motion to a position back in front of your chest, with slightly less bend in your elbows, to complete the repetition.
