Oops....I just had a moment to look at items listed for fighting chronic inflammation (I had thought that Charlotte might have noted these) and if not too late, you will definitely need to change one key, scientific inaccuracy (7 hours of sleep, not 8, is average total hours of sleep that is best for survival according to landmark population study from Univ of Calif on 1.2 million people), but also if possible please reorder items starting with most integratively significant to more generically understood and overrepresented online as I have done below.


Fighting chronic inflammation

With the strong correlation between CRP and cancer, it’s important to have your inflammation levels regularly checked. Here are a few things you can do to fight chronic inflammation:

  • Consume foods rich in omega-3 fats
  • Make sure your carbohydrate sources include whole grains, legumes, and lower-glycemic vegetables
  • Consume foods rich in flavonoids, including apples, onions, berries and cherries
  • Incorporate moderate daily exercise
  • Take anti-inflammatory supplements like fish oil, curcumin, scutellaria, boswellia, and cherry extract  
  • Avoid over-consumption of high-glycemic carbohydrates or foods high in omega-6 oils
  • Utilize daily, 20-minute practices that produce relaxation responses
  • Get an average of 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night
  • Practice cognitive behavioral techniques to enhance sleep efficiency
  • Avoid high-heat cooking methods, as it can alter food molecules into inflammatory glycotoxin and hydrocarbons
  • Take a low-dose aspirin
  • Shed excess weight
  • Stop using tobacco products
  • Limit or eliminate alcohol consumption
  • Be careful with “weekend warrior” exercise habits
