If you’ve read very much on this blog, you already know that I respect the work of David Wolfe. He’s brilliant, dedicated, and has the ability to draw from vast amounts of information to make the raw food eating lifestyle accessible to any who are interested.
Inflammation is a NATURAL response of the body to protect itself (and its parts) against harmful stimuli. The inflammation is like a cushion or protective shield that allows the impacted part of the body to heal.
BUT — and this is a BIG BUT — when the body contains too much inflammation over long periods of time, many different symptoms and dysfunctions can occur. As with many dynamics in life, a good thing is a good thing in the proper amount. Too much is no longer a good thing.
On David Wolfe’s pod cast, he talks about the foods that are most likely to increase the inflammation in your body: for example, foods you’re allergic to and foods high in protein.
Just as important to know are foods that are anti-inflammatory, for example, sulfur-containing foods, aloe vera, whole fresh noni.
But, don’t take my word for it. Please listen to his podcast directly, as he says more. In only THREE minutes he gives enough information to help you to change the amount of inflammation in your body just by adjusting your food intake.
