Unlike synthetic antibiotics, specific natural remedies and nutrients of healthy food can beat inflammation successfully and without side effects for the long. Strengthening the most important power of health – our immune system. In this blog you learn about a sample of these foods.

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND

When Dr. Alexander Fleming discovered the first pharmaceutical antibiotic pencillin ninety years ago, millions of lives have been saved.
 
Because inflammation is behind each ailment and disease.
 
Yet, these synthetic antibiotics come with limits. First, you can only combat bacteria with – no viruses. Second, there are side effects involved your body does not appreciate. Also, many bacteria have become resistant to antibiotics.    
 
Fortunately, nature gives us remedies and nutrients to beat inflammation successfully and without side effects for the long. Strengthening the most important power of our health – our immune system. Since man has entered this globe.
 
Just look at the Three Wise Men showing up 2000 years ago at Jesus’ birth to commit 3 gifts. All medicinal herbs to combat inflammation – documented in the Holy Bible and scientifically validated today.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS – SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED

In fact, there are many healthy foods to successfully control even chronic inflammation. Including joint pain – one of most debilitating health issues of our time, according to the Arthritis Foundation. And it strengthens our bones.
 
Based on research at, inter alia, Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, the  University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in China’s capital Beijing, the Sindh Agriculture University in Tandojam, Pakistan, Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China. Etc.
 
Let’s start for

Breakfast

Inter alia, with
 
  • Buckwheat berry pancakes
 
to fight especially arthritis inflammation with antioxidant quercetin and anti-inflammatory rutin.
 
Buckwheat – in fact not a ‘grain’ but a (gluten-free) seed is an appreciated part of Japanese cuisine, available also in our hemisphere online and in supermarkets.
 
In this food category we may also consider

 
  • Buckwheat porridge
 
especially as a gluten-free substitute of oats.
 
Adding Mexican chia – with high content of protein and fiber - will also raise the content of omega-3 to reduce inflammation and help with rheumatoid arthritis in terms of joint tenderness and stiffness.
 
Another helpful omega-3 rich anti-inflammatory food is certainly a toast with
 
  • Smoked salmon
 
just like
 
  • Avocados
 
Similar helpful is a
 
  • Pineapple smoothie
 
Because of its high content of anti-inflammatory bromelain and also of protein and fiber as well.
 
Not to forget about protein-rich
 
  • Eggs
 
along with egg-yolk containing vitamin D supporting the immune system.
 
Especially in cases of rheumatoid arthritis.
 
Also adding the medicinal herb turmeric to scrambled eggs is highly anti-inflammatory because of containing curcumin as a strong natural power helping in cases of oxidation and inflammation.
 
Finally,
 
  • Oats
 
are helpful because of their high content of antioxidants and the fiber beta-glucan especially important for gut bacteria Bifidobacterium to fight inflammation not only in cases of diabetes but also obesity.  
 
Especially if you add blueberries because of their anti-inflammatory anthocyanins.
 
For

Lunch

recommendations are, inter alia,
 
  • Green leafy vegetables
 
such as broccoli and spinach because of their high content of the polyphenol coenzyme Q10 which reduces inflammation especially in cases of diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis (MS).
 
Same is with

 
  • Cruciferous vegetables
 
besides broccoli such as cauliflower, Brussel sprouts and white beans, with high contents of fiber and antioxidants, supporting anti-inflammatory gut bacteria. 
 
Just like
 

  • Sauerkraut
 
as a powerful probiotics supporting gut bacteria with special reference to arthritis-related inflammation.
 

  • Beetroots
 
are raising the anti-inflammatory fiber content (just like lentils) and also are high anti-inflammatory because of their inherent antioxidant betaine.    
 
For

Dinner

smoked fatty fish
 
  • Trout
 
is helpful because of its inti-inflammatory omega-3.
 
Not to overlook other fatty fish rich in omega-3 such as
 
  • Salmon, mackerel and tuna
 
Just like
 
  • Shrimps
 
containing anti-inflammatory antioxidant astaxanthin
 
Same is with
 
  • Vegetables
 
in general because of their anti-inflammatory polyphenols, including sweet potatoes.
 
Including
 
  • Beans
 
because of their high content of vitamin C, fiber and plant proteins. 
 

Snacks

For snacks you may especially consider
 
      *   Fruit
 
like apples because of their anti-inflammatory fiber, and grapes – especially red grapes containing the anti-inflammatory polyphenol resveratrol.
 
Also goji berries high in vitamin C, a strong supporter of our immune system. For more details about this powerful nutrient native to Asia, see our Medical Sunday Blog of August 19, 2018:
