Foods that are Inflammatory

Foods that are Inflammatory!

 

 

Tomatoes, Potatoes (not yams), Green Peppers and Eggplants are 4 very inflammatory foods to the body. For example, if you have Osteoarthritis, eating these foods could make you become more symptomatic and inflamed. A common group that is very prone to nightshade inflammation from these foods are Italians where many of these 4 items are included in their daily food intake. These 4 foods are part of the nightshade family, which are extremely high in alkaloids. Alkaloids can impact nerve-muscle function and digestive function. Some people are more sensitive to these foods than others. Cooking can lower alkaloid content by 40-50%, but it is best to attempt a complete withdrawal of these foods for 3 months to see if your inflammatory symptoms improve. Wheat is not part of the nightshade family, but also promotes inflammation. Some people are more sensitive to wheat that others.
