What foods cause pains? What are inflammatory foods.

Eating foods high in Omega-6 cause increase in joint pain these foods are pro-inflammatory which increase your joint pain.Corn, sunflower, cottonseed, safflower, and soybean oils; grains, packaged food,avoid these foods.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids are anti-inflammatory. The best sources of omega-3 Fatty acids: fish,fish oil,wild game,grass-fed animals,green vegetables,flax seeds, chia seeds.

Researchers from Harvard University indicate that a large proportion of the general population is at increased risk for developing chronic inflammatory disease, in part due to inadequate nutrient intake.

Make healthier food choices to aid in decreasing your joint pains. Eat more Omega 3 foods. If you can't get enough Omega 3 foods then try our new lemon flavored Omega 3 formula,great taste in a easy to assimilate form.

80 % of American children and adolescents and 70% of adults do not eat five vegetable and fruit servings a day (3 vegetables, 2 fruits).

One source that shares how deficient our food choices are. A great reason to support taking a daily multiple vitamin. Use caution with "Cheap vitamins", what is the source and is it safe? What country are your raw ingrediences coming from? Is the source organic or you taking a pesticide laden vitamin supplements? These are interesting questions we should be asking ourselves.

Food for thought!

Stay Healthy till next time
