Inflammation

Lately, I’ve been trying to get back into fashion the way I used to, but it’s been a struggle. I found myself

ordering two pairs of jeans, one for my inflamed body days and the other for the times when I have

deflated. The struggle is real and inflammation is no joke!!! Inflammation is part of the journey with

endometriosis but doesn’t mean you have to give in. I’ve learned that what you eat plays a big part in

how your jeans will fit from day to day. After all, who has time to feel bloated? We have outfits to style.

Spring is arriving and plan to be as bloat-free and less heavy as possible!

Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation can lead to

several health issues. Some foods have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation

in the body. Here are some top foods for inflammation:

Berries: Berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are high in antioxidants, which can

reduce inflammation.

Dark leafy greens: Dark leafy greens like kale, spinach, and collard greens are rich in antioxidants and

other anti-inflammatory compounds.

Nuts: Nuts like Brazil nuts and walnuts are high in healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants, which can reduce

inflammation.

Turmeric: Contains the compound curcumin, which has potent anti-inflammatory properties.

Avocado oil: Healthy fats and antioxidants that can reduce inflammation.

Tomatoes: Rich in lycopene, which has been shown to reduce inflammation.

Garlic: Contains sulfur compounds that can reduce inflammation and boost immune function.

Ginger: Contains compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties and can reduce pain.

Lemon Balm tea: Rich in antioxidants that can reduce inflammation and improve overall health.

These food items help me to get back on track. Food really is the first source of healing for our bodies.
