More than thinking about “dieting”, we should think about adopting anti-inflammatory lifestyle habits.
Acute inflammation is a positive and healing response of our body that is mediated, among other factors, by cortisol (cortisone).
When inflammation becomes chronic, it is considered a health problem, with multiple associated consequences. Bearing this information in mind, we cannot forget that
Obesity is a state of chronic inflammation.
Inflammatory factors that we can control:
- Alcohol;
– Tobacco;
– Ultra-processed;
- Fried;
– Simple and industrialized sugars;
– Stress;
- Sedentary lifestyle.
Fortunately, there is an effective treatment/approach! 👇🏼
We must ingest:
– Fermented foods, to increase the variety of intestinal flora (probiotics);
– Cherries (antioxidant and anti-inflammatory);
– Seeds and nuts;
– Fatty/blue fish;
– Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli;
– Relaxation techniques;
– Aerobic and muscular strength exercise.
In this way, we will be able to control the weight more easily and the improvements will be fantastic.
