veggies1.jpgThe anti inflammatory diet was created to reduce the amount of inflammatory foods you are eating on a weekly basis.  Why do this?  Because these foods can trigger all kinds of allergic reactions such as asthma, allergies, irritable bowl and joint pain to name a few.

Inflammatory foods can also produce free radicals which can lead to many chronic and acute diseases.  Excessive free radical production has been linked to cancer, heart and parkinson's disease.

In each food category, check off how many times you are eating any food in that group weekly.  Add the number in each group and get your overall total on the bottom.  Your grand total should not exceed 15 if you want to maintain a healhthy life style.  if you want to detox your body your total should not exceed 5.
