Increased inflammation causes: Joint destruction Cardiovascular disease Chronic Allergies Nutrient deficiencies What to eat & What NOT to eat! Cow’s milk, beef, liver, pork, lamb Arachidonic acid is the direct precursor to proinflammatory and pain-promoting immune markers Saturated fats: activates pro-inflammatory markers Cream: marked oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation that lasts for 3 hours after you eat Corn oil: rapidly activates pro-inflammatory effect High glycemic OR carbohydrate dominant foods (white bread, sugar, high-carb fast-foodstyle breakfast): Oxidative stress Inflammation Suppressed immune function infection or dysbiosis Promotes bacterial overgrowth – inherently proinflammatory Chemical preservatives & artificial sweeteners Whole Foods: Fruits Veggies Seeds Nuts Whole grains Omega-3, Omega-6 & Omega-9 Fatty acids Lean Sources of Protein Lean meats Fatty cold-water fish Soy Whey proteins Organic Foods Non-genetically modified (usually, but not always) Non-irradiated Grown without pesticides, herbicides, non-organic fertilizers, antibiotics or hormones More nutrients Taste better Meats: Grass-fed, grass-finished organic meats Critical in detox process of liver Maintains energy Promotes healthy functioning of liver, kidneys & other organs Provides liquid to lubricate joints BEWARE of “sports drinks” OR “high energy drinks” Toxic build up systemic manifestations High in sugar (pro-inflammatory) Try Electrolyte mix instead Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA), EPA, DHA, GLA and oleic acid: fatty acid supplementation Anti-inflammatory Maintains integrity and functionality of cells Vitamin C Anti-inflammatory Builds & maintains collagen (component in all connective tissue, including cartilage) Take with alpha lipoic acid Vitamin D Common deficiency Chronic illness or chronic musculoskeletal pain Anti-inflammatory Immune boosting Vitamin E Natural (d-alpha) tocopherols OR D-a-tocopherol succinate Bioflavonoids Green tea Antioxidant Resveratrol Decreases bruising Decreases edema due to inflammation Antioxidant Curcumin Extremely anti-inflammatory Quercitin Ginger Anti-inflammatory Antioxidant Antihistamine Extremely anti-inflammatory Bromelain Glucosamine sulfate Stimulates manufacture of GAGs by chondrocytes and promotes incorporation of sulfur into cartilage Increases ability to absorb shock Absorption rate 90-98% Chondroitin sulfate, bovine cartilage Mixed of intact or partially hydrolized GAGs Absorption rate 13% Jen Mundt, ND [email protected]
