The one type of diet most systems of medicine agree on is
an anti-inflammatory diet. Part of activating your full potential requires
altering your eating to reduce and eliminate foods that cause inflammation.
Inflammation is an immune response that happens when there is a perceived
threat in the body.
Often this shows up as joint pain and swelling, but many
other symptoms including brain fog, depression, and anxiety can also be
caused by inflammation.
Some people are more sensitive to gluten, while others
need to be careful to avoid sugar and red meats. Every recommendation you'll
find in the book, Super
Woman Rx, is designed to reduce inflammation so your unique
potential will be set free. The list below includes the main inflammation-causing
culprits.
Gluten
A protein found in wheat,
gluten can trigger an immune reaction that damages the surface of the small
intestine and can cause a variety of problems including interference
with the absorption of nutrients, bloating, diarrhea, and sometimes
constipation. People with sensitivity to gluten can experience anxiety,
depression, mood swings, brain fog, fatigue, dizziness, migraine
headaches, swelling or pain in joints.
