With spring drawing closer, you may find your determination to keep your New Year's resolutions beginning to wane. Between Valentine's Day candy on sale and more Super Bowl leftovers than we could ever hope to eat in an entire week (let alone in a single day!), it can be tough to keep your resolve to watch what you eat.

It's not just about managing your weight or eating more vegetables; certain foods have severe effects on your body in the form of inflammation. They can be as discrete as minor redness and swelling, or more noticeable in the form of restricted movement and pain in your joints. The most comon onset of pain in our office is "insidious" suggesing a slow buildng chronic inflamatory process that semingly appears for no reason.  Kind of like a cavity in your tooth. 

See below for a list fo anti-inflammatory foods that if incorporated into your regular diet will help bring a blance to inflammation in your body.  Try and feature some kind of anti-inflamatory food into every meal that you eat and eliminate the pro-inflamatory foods all to gether. People who have done this often describe a noticable relief from provious symptoms and a greater ability to control thier weight.

Keep an eye out for  our next newsletter where we'll share some exciting opportunities in the Bay Area for staying active outdoors and how proper form and footwear will keep you going strong all day. 

Yours for better health,
