Introduction

T asty and Healthy Anti -Inflammatory Diet Lunch Recipes

What is inflammation? Inflammation is a commonly used term these days, but lets think about what it really means. Inflammation can be healthy and natural, for example if we get a cut and our bodies healing mechanism produces redness and swelling. This is a normal inflammatory response.

However, the problem comes in when we are dealing with chronic, systemic inflammation. This occurs when our body is suffering from chronic stressors, which could be physical, mental/emotional, or environmental in nature, and are causing long-standing inflammation that affects our bodies systems. These stressors could be too much work and not enough rest and relaxation, a physical trauma (like an accident or even a childbirth...anything that is hard on the body), a death in the family, OR an environmental factor such as pollutants, toxins, and inflammatory foods.

Some stressors we simply cannot control, unfortunately. But some we can, and food is certainly one of them. Regularly eating a diet high in inflammatory foods such as rancid oils (soy, corn, canola oils, for example), fried foods, refined sugar, baked goods such as cookies, cakes, and pastries, sodas and fruit drinks, and/or commercially raised meats, causes major stress on the body, and this in turn creates inflammation.

In this book, you will find delicious and easy-to-prepare lunch recipes, filled with nutrient dense and anti-inflammatory ingredients. While not noted in each recipe, remember that the quality of your ingredients is of utmost importance. As much as possible, opt for grass-fed meat, organic poultry, wild-caught, fresh fish, and organic produce. This goes a long way in preventing and calming systemic inflammation.

Choose the recipes here that work best for your lifestyle and appeal to your tastes, there are lots to choose from!

Heres to our health!

Anti-inflammatory diet is not a diet really, but a lifestyle. I have included a whole variety of recipes and I divided them into different sections so that its easier for you to focus on what you and your family prefer.
