There are a few common factors in many chronic diseases. Inflammation is one of those common factors. According to David Sandoval, in The Green Foods Bible, “if we can apply our knowledge of healing foods and lifestyle changes to adjusting these factors” we can bring our bodies into balance. He further goes on to say, “I do not hesitate to say that green foods are the closest thing to a panacea, a “cure-all”, than any other source, whether natural or from a scientist’s laboratory.”
When we talk about diet, according to the same book (as well as much information that is available), “A diet high in processed and cooked foods, particularly those made from white flour, sugar, dairy, and meats will push the body towards a more inflammatory state.” Whereas, “A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fish (for non-vegans) pushes the inflammatory balance in the other direction—food as a natural anti-inflammatory.”
If we think about it, with the information that is becoming available today, we often have more power over our disease than we realize.
