Introduction

Y ou can ask every nutritionist out there, and they will simply say that food is the main cause for the majority of diseases known today. If you think of how many people have diabetes (or an early phase of it) or are overweight, you will start to understand what is really happening. Food is what the human body needs to function properly, but unhealthy food can have a reverse effect, as it can promote the appearance of a lot of the diseases and illnesses that affect people.

The problem can be found in processed food, which is the type of food dominating any supermarket in the Western world. What used to be natural and nutritious was replaced with processed food, which is full of carbs and calories. If one thing describes processed food, then its this ratio: there are too many calories compared to its nutritional value. Even though all people know how harmful this food type is, its still in every refrigerator throughout the civilized world. Why? Because its too cheap not to be bought. Not to mention that so many people are addicted to snacks, sweets, sodas, and juices (or other foods/drinks rich in sugar).

As you can imagine, this eating habit doesnt have a positive effect on your body and its functions. One of the bodys most important functions is inflammation, which is the bodys reaction to toxins, injuries, or infections. Its just something related to your immune system. However, when your body doesnt have a proper response, this function has a negative side effect, as it influences your organs and tissues. Now thats terrible news for your body, as if this process has a continuous negative effect on your body, you can end up with some serious diseases.

If food is the cause of these medical problems, it can also be the antidote. Obviously, Im not referring to processed food, as no good can come from consuming that in big quantities. We need to focus on eating a lot healthier and eliminating processed food from our diet. There is nothing wrong with eating vegetables, so you are probably realizing right now why you were told to eat your veggies when you were little. This book will teach you that diets are not just for losing weight; they can be used to heal your body from different medical conditions, diseases, or illnesses. You have probably heard of Intermittent Fasting and its effects on your body and health. Well, this book is suggesting a different approach, the kind that doesnt require starvation or skipping meals. You can have all your main meals, eat healthy foods, and perhaps lose some weight, but the main purpose of the diet is to feel great and improve your overall health.

This is what this book is about! Therefore, if you want to boost your health and feel great about yourself, look no further, as this book is what you need. Plus, it comes with a 3-week meal plan for you to follow, plus tips and tricks on how to improve your health with proper nutritious food. So, what are you waiting for? Discover how to fight back against chronic inflammation now!

Chapter 1: Everything You Need to Know About Chronic Inflammation

I n school in physics , you learned that for every action there is a reaction. I like to think that this statement applies to biology as well, at least when it comes to the human body. Think of inflammation as the bodys reaction or answer to literally everything that harms it, such as toxins, injuries, or even infections. Yes, your body has a self-healing mode, so when there is something damaging the cells of your body, it will fight back and release chemicals that will provoke a response from your immune system.

In this case, the response includes the release of proteins and antibodies and also enhanced blood flow to the damaged area. Normally, the whole process lasts for a few hours or a few days, if the inflammation is acute. When the response takes even more than that, keeping your body in a state of alert, the inflammation becomes chronic. In time, chronic inflammation can negatively affect your organs and tissues, so it has to be avoided in the long run. Plus, there are some studies that have shown the role chronic inflammation can play in promoting conditions like asthma, or even cancer.

N ormal inflammation is part of your immune system, but when the bodys healing response to something that causes pain is delayed or there is no response at all, were talking about acute and chronic inflammation. But how do you recognize when you are dealing with these conditions? Well, here are some symptoms for acute inflammation you need to look for:
