Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION TO HEALTHY LIVING AND EATING

WE ARE WHAT WE EAT.

The German philosopher Feuerbach argued this about two centuries ago, and I am
deeply convinced of it myself. Today we live in the information age, and honestly, I
often feel overwhelmed by the amount of knowledge generated and made available
every day. As if this were not enough, it becomes more and more difficult to
distinguish the signal from the noise quickly and effectively, that noise incessantly
produced by those who, for economic purposes or simple ignorance, proclaim
themselves an expert on social media and increase the diffusion and confusion of
ideas. In my opinion, the so-called anti-inflammatory foods are a case in point: we
hear about them often, but do they exist? What exactly are anti-inflammatory foods?
Are they useful? Necessary? Real? Let's clarify myths and reality, science and

5
pseudoscience, but first an essential premise.

AND WHAT ARE ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS?

Searching "anti-inflammatory foods" on YouTube or the rest of the internet, it is


possible to find endless lists of foods and superfoods that, according to the guru on
duty, would solve all our inflammation problems. Foods that reduce inflammation are
rich in anti-inflammatory nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids, and
flavonoids. However, the essential compound that inhibits inflammation is a group of
fatty acids called omega-3 fats (most notably EPA and DHA), which are also involved
in brain function, average growth and development, lowering cholesterol levels,
reducing blood pressure, and improving heart health. These foods contain high
amounts of omega-3 fats: cold-water fish (mackerel – salmon – sardines -herring –
trout), flaxseed oil, walnuts, extra virgin olive oil, dark chocolate, avocado and
soybean.

Anti-inflammatory foods reduce the signs and symptoms of inflammation in the


body, which is typical when a person eats refined carbohydrates or processed foods.
Inflammation can occur when something irritates your body, such as poor-quality
food, stress, injury, infection, or even specific medication. When this happens,
immune system cells are activated and travel to injured tissue, releasing chemicals
that start healing processes that cause swelling, pain, and redness. This condition is
referred to as acute inflammation. Still, if it persists for more extended periods, it can
lead to severe diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases (such as heart attack),
autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis), cancer, and diabetes.

In this regard, although it is possible to list some distinctly anti-inflammatory foods,


and we will see them shortly, in my opinion, they represent the worthy crowning of
an anti-inflammatory dietary approach and not its basis. Knowing and regularly
consuming these foods allows us to benefit from their remarkable properties, which,
however, could in no way remedy a dietary approach that is wrong in its basic
principles.

6
Furthermore, let us not forget that the different antioxidant substances present in
nature often have different and complementary mechanisms (someone works in an
aqueous environment, someone lipophilic, for example, but then we have the lutein
that concentrates in the eye and the lycopene of the tomato effectively reaches the
prostate), which is why for maximum benefit it is so important to associate them,
rotate them in the diet, and alternate them. This is one of the classic examples in
which the overall effect is greater than the sum of the parts.

In any case, among the most important, we can mention turmeric, to be taken
possibly in association with a pinch of pepper to maximize its absorption, ginger,
cinnamon, but then again, the whole family of brassicas (the various cabbages,
broccoli, cauliflowers), green tea and many others.

WHAT IS INFLAMMATION?

We are used to thinking


of inflammation as a
concept with a strongly
negative connotation,
always associating it
with pain, injury, trauma,
or simply a condition
that causes discomfort,
discomfort, and other
unpleasant symptoms.

In reality the real meaning is different, much more positive, because inflammation is a
defense mechanism of the organism. Wikipedia even defines it as protective,
consequent to the action of some external or internal insult and whose goal is to
eliminate the cause and initiation of the repair process. It is, therefore, an
indispensable mechanism for life, which reacts as much to biological threats (think of
bacteria and viruses) as to chemical-physical ones, when, for example, we burn
ourselves with a pan in the oven or cut our finger by slicing black cabbage. Seen

7
from this perspective, it is, in my opinion, comparable to stress: stress itself is neither
good nor bad. It is the form in which it manifests itself that makes it beneficial or
harmful.

Short and occasional exposures to stress are helpful and allow us to benefit greatly,
think for example, of a student who gradually faces questions and tests of increasing
difficulty, which finally culminate with the Maturity exam rather than with the
discussion of the Thesis. The gradual exposure, with increasing difficulty but never
overwhelming, prepared him for the final test. In the same way, inflammation, if
occasional, targeted, and effective, allows us to recover perfectly from a disease, an
injury, a form of weakness of the immune system.

Almost everyone is worried about inflammation of one kind or another. Arthritis,


Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Bursitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. All these are
symptoms that are related to acute or chronic inflammation. Today's modern world
has been deeply affected by foods and lifestyles that have promoted chronic
diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and diabetes mellitus type 2
(DM2). Our bodies maintain a homeostasis condition – that is, an intermediate state of
balance or body equilibrium. Western society today has a greater incidence of
chronic illnesses because we are not maintaining that homeostasis condition with
which we were designed and created by God. In today's world, the
environment/lifestyle change has led to many losing their balance with their health
and often dealing with diseases they never thought would happen to them.

A state of inflammation often precedes most chronic conditions. Inflammation is the


body's natural response to injury and infection. Both physical injuries, as well as
mental stress, trigger an inflammatory response. When it subsides, tissue repair
occurs, and we heal. Acute (short-term) inflammation can be compared with
firefighting; a short-term inflammatory response by the body is required to extinguish
or contain the damage that could lead to persistent problems further down the track
if left unaddressed.

8
Now let's take the same student and put him in front of questions that are beyond his
reach, for topics, difficulties, and frequency: within a month, we will have a boy
unable to study, tried by the continuous challenges that he is not equipped to
overcome, discouraged, who will therefore have lost confidence in himself because
he realized he was unable to tackle the path.

Likewise, inflammation, which if continued over time, can no longer guarantee


optimal or effective healing, like a wound that does not heal and, on the contrary,
continues to hurt. What I have described to you, with apparent simplifications, is the
difference between acute inflammation, useful, effective, and limited in time, from
chronic, fruitless, and persistent inflammation.

Chapter 2
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DIET BASICS AND STYLE

In terms of survival, our bodies are brilliant and cunning. Inflammation speeds up the
aging process and weakens the body. In most cases, the anti-Inflammatory process
is essential for restoring health, but in some cases, an incorrect, inflammatory
response can occur.

You can prevent this sudden inflammation, for example, by following a diet called an
anti-inflammatory diet. It not only cures health problems but also slows down the
aging process by stabilizing blood sugar levels and stimulating metabolism.

Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury and infection and indicates that
something is wrong with you. However, chronic inflammatory reactions often occur,
which provoke various diseases and significantly accelerate the aging process. You
can avoid this by slightly reconsidering your lifestyle. In addition to regular activity,
experts recommend a special anti-inflammatory diet.

DIET BASICS

The telling name of the diet makes it clear that it is aimed at combating inflammatory
reactions. As you know, inflammation catalyzes the aging process, accelerates the
appearance of wrinkles, and increases the risk of various "age-related" diseases. The
foods from which the diet is built actively fight inflammation, keeping you healthy and
youthful. It should be understood that these are not temporary measures - an anti-
inflammatory diet should become your way of life since the effect will last only as
long as you adhere to a specific meal plan.

10
Foods that form the basis of the diet are rich in antioxidants and unsaturated (healthy)
fats. Antioxidants actively fight free radicals that damage the body's cells, provoke
inflammation, reduce immunity and accelerate the aging process. Omega-3 and -6
fatty acids, as well as vitamins A and E, keep the body healthy from the inside,
strengthening every cell and prolonging its youth.

WHAT FOODS ARE WORTH EATING?

The best sources of antioxidants are berries and fruits (the brighter they are, the
higher their antioxidant value), nuts and seeds. We recommend paying special
attention to strawberries, blueberries, cherries, watermelons, apricots, and peaches.
Among vegetables, the most antioxidants are found in greens (spinach and sorrel),
carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers (red is the most useful). In addition, you should not
neglect nuts - almonds, pistachios, and cashews - they are a real storehouse of
vitamins A and E and minerals necessary for the body. The choice of sources of
healthy fats should also be approached responsibly: river fish (salmon and trout),
avocado, virgin olive oil, linseed, and rapeseed oil. As a source of carbohydrates,
experts recommend choosing whole grains that have undergone minimal processing:
brown rice, quinoa, and barley. And don't forget about spices - some of them not
only add spice to the dish but also contribute to your health. Turmeric, ginger, and
cinnamon are what you need.

WHAT FOOD SHOULD YOU EXCLUDE?

11
First of all, you should exclude sugar. The connection between it and the occurrence
of inflammatory reactions has been established by science for a long time and is not
questioned. High blood sugar levels stimulate the growth of inflammatory gut
bacteria, which increases the concentration of toxins in the body. The immune
system reacts to them by triggering an inflammatory response. Therefore, you should
be extremely careful with sweets; you should replace desserts with fruits or dried
fruits and refuse added sugar altogether.

Another important point in the anti-inflammatory diet is the complete avoidance of


alcohol. In less strict diet variations, a glass of dry red is allowed no more than a
couple of times a month, but in the original version, alcohol-containing drinks are
prohibited. The fact is that alcohol causes intoxication in the body, which increases
the risk of inflammation.

In addition, an anti-inflammatory diet means keeping tight control over the fats you
eat. They should not include trans fats, sunflower, corn, palm, and soybean oils. They
are often found in finished products, so it is better to refuse them and read the
composition carefully.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BODY?

As a result of such nutrition in the body, many inflammatory processes are


significantly reduced, which immediately affects both your appearance and well-
being. The skin becomes moisturized and elastic, the likelihood of premature
wrinkles is reduced, and the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid in cells is
stimulated. The internal changes in the body are also impressive: reducing the
amount of inflammation reduces fatigue, increases concentration and performance.
In the long term, this type of diet will protect you from many "age-related" diseases:
from vision loss to heart problems and Alzheimer's disease.

Chronic fatigue, depression, diabetes, obesity, hypertension - chronic inflammation in


the body can lead to these problems. How can I stop it? This will help, among other
things, an appropriately structured diet. Inflammation is the body's natural defense
response to infection or infection. It is designed to eliminate the source of the threat

12
and correct the "damage." However, if inflammation persists for too long, it in itself
becomes a serious threat to our health.

An acute inflammatory process sometimes turns into a chronic one, which can last
for months or even years. This leads to constant stimulation of the immune system
and tissue destruction in the place where it occurs. The so-called pro-inflammatory
cytokines begin to spread through the circulatory system throughout the body,
resulting in various ailments, depressed mood, chronic fatigue syndrome, or
migraines. In the long term, the effect of chronic inflammation is even more serious,
as it leads to the development of many formidable diseases, in particular,
Hashimoto's disease, diabetes mellitus, obesity, vascular atherosclerosis, and even
cancer. How can we resist this? One of the keys to success may be eliminating foods
that support inflammation while adding foods with anti-inflammatory properties.
