Suffering from aches and pains? Feeling unwell? Struggling to lose weight? What if I told you you could reduce inflammation….and while you do it, you could lose weight AND boost your energy?
Don’t believe me? Then read on because here are some simple things that could make all the difference for you…
Over the past 3 months I lost 14kgs and I can’t begin to tell you how much better I feel. Some of you may have seen my social media posts and noticed the difference in the way I look or even the fact that I did a 41 kilometre hike last weekend. I would NEVER have been able to do some of these things just a year ago.
What has changed? I’ll tell you all about it in just a moment. But first, let’s talk about what could be the most important factor affecting your health right now…
Inflammation
Let’s be clear – inflammation is a natural part of the body’s immune response. Ithelps your body to fight off infection and repair tissue damage. However, chronic inflammation can have harmful effects on your body.
In fact, it’s linked to a large number of health conditions, including heart disease, arthritis, asthma, autoimmune disorders and even Alzheimer’s disease.
The thing is, when inflammation becomes chronic, it can lead to a host of negative consequences. It can weaken your immune system, making you more vulnerable to infections and illnesses. It can also damage your tissues and organs, leading to pain, swelling, and other distressing symptoms. That’s why it’s so important to reduce inflammation in your body
The #1 Way to Reduce Inflammation
Fortunately, there are ways to reduce inflammation and promote overall health and wellness. One of the most effective ways to reduce inflammation is through diet.
Eating a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and fatty fish can help to reduce inflammation and support the body’s natural healing processes.
Avoiding inflammatory foods such as processed foods, sugary drinks, and trans fats can also help to reduce inflammation in the body. Not to mention having a fantastic positive effect on your weight!
Note: This is NOT about becoming ‘Instagram skinny’ or trying to conform to some ‘ideal’ image. It’s about finding a healthy weight for you, where you feel unbloated, full of energy and a brilliant version of yourself. It all happens together when you do it this way.
Exercise to Reduce Inflammation
Regular exercise is another key factor in reducing inflammation. Exercise helps to reduce inflammation by promoting circulation and boosting the immune system. It also helps to reduce stress, which can be a major contributor to chronic inflammation.
Note: this is NOT about some ridiculous, unrealistic and unsustainable exercise program. Pushing too hard or exercising too much without proper rest will actually increase inflammation. If you need to, talk to a professional to create a program that will work for you.
Reduce Inflammation through Lifestyle
In addition to diet and exercise, there are a number of other lifestyle changes that can help to reduce inflammation. Getting enough sleep (SO important!), managing stress, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can all help to reduce inflammation and promote overall health.
Is it time for a reset?
Chances are that you’ve heard all this before. I know I had. And in the back of my mind was a belief that it sounds okay but it probably wouldn’t work for me.
So, what changed? One of the keys was to create some accountability and to surround myself with support. I know that I definitely would have fallen off the wagon if I didn’t have a goal and supportive people around me keeping me on track.
That’s why I want to encourage you to think about doing a reset.
