Today, there are many products that are widely considered food, but in fact they are not. They are processed, refined, sweetened, salted or altered in some way. Any food that has a trademark is no longer a real food because the ingredients in it have been processed so that it can "live" longer on the shelf in the store.
This automatically means that most of the beneficial ingredients that have anti-inflammatory properties are lost, and in their place are "settled" salt , sugar and harmful fats .
In particular, which foods can cause inflammation?
Dairy products
Contrary to popular belief and advertising campaigns, bone strength is not a consequence of the consumption of milk and other dairy products, but of plant foods.
In fact, dairy products are the cause of inflammation in many people. And the more processed they are, the more their useful substances are lost and their inflammatory properties increase.
Sugar
The sugar industry is trying to sell people the fact that sugar is a natural product because it comes from sugar cane. However, there is no mention that in the refining process, all cells are removed from the plant.
Unfortunately, artificial sweeteners have many drawbacks. They are believed to cause a number of diseases and are also suspected of weight gain.
Refined grains
They should be avoided, along with fortified and sweetened beans. Experts recommend reducing pasta consumption to once a week and avoiding refined grains in white bread, cereals and pizza.
