Foods That Decrease Inflammation and Help You Lose Weight 

 

 

 Because eating these foods is so much easier than counting calories.  

  

 

  

 

  By K. Aleisha Fetters  

  

  

  

 

 

 


Chronic inflammation can throw off your hunger mechanism and metabolism-regulating hormones, spur insulin resistance, and even cause you to hang onto water weight. What's more, research has linked elevated levels of inflammatory markers with future weight gain. While pretty much any good-for-you food will lower your body's level of inflammation at least a bit, these foods truly go above and beyond.

1. Salmon: Fat makes up your body's inflammation-regulating compounds, called prostaglandins. And while some reduce inflammation, others egg it on. To up your levels of inflammation-fighting prostaglandins, eat more omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA - for which salmon, and other fatty fish are famous. What's more, since omega-3's can help decrease your levels of inflammation-causing LDL "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides, they can lower inflammation even more.

2. Flaxseeds: Fish not your thing? No problem. Flax boasts nature's highest concentration of plant-based omega-3's.

3. Blueberries: Blueberries are a rich source of bioflavonoids, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Fewer free radicals, less inflammation.

4. Curry: Turmeric gives curry it's yellow color, along with a hefty load of bioflavonoids. Plus, research from the University of Texas shows that turmeric suppress NF-kappa B, an immune-regulating protein that triggers inflammation.

5. Tart Cherries: Hailed as having the highest anti-inflammatory content of any food. Tart cherries are filled with anthocynins, antioxidants that are known to reduce inflammation as effectively as some pain meds.

6. Edamame: This one hits inflammation from a couple angles since it's rich in isofalvones and omega-3 fatty acids. The result: lower levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation.

7. Green Tea: Other blends are good, too, but green is a more active anti-inflammatory, possibly due to its higher flavonoid content.

8. Whole Grains: People who eat whole grains (think: oatmeal, brown rice, and barley) lowered their levels of C-reactive protein by 38 percent compared to those who opted for refined grains.

5 Summer Workout Tips
  

5 Summer Workout Tips

 

 

Summer is the perfect time to start healthy habits that will last you a lifetime. Fitness should be exciting and fun to ensure you won't lose interest and stop before you get the results you want.  

  

Here are five tips that I've shard with my clients over the years to help them incorporate healthy choices into everyday life. These small habits add up, and before you know it you're living the fit life and feeling phenomenal.  

  

1. Drive More "Fun" Water. It's important to drink plenty of water, especially in the summer when you're more prone to dehydration and you're sweating more during workouts. Make infused-water "mocktails" to make plain water more delicious without the added calories of other drinks. Just slice up your favorite fresh fruit and add it to your water.  

  

2. Find a Workout Buddy. Try biking, outdoor dance classes, canoeing, and hiking. You will get to spend a beautiful day outdoors with a friend, and you won't even notice the amazing workout you're getting.  

  

3. Work Out in the Morning. It's a great way to jump-start your day, plus you'll avoid the peak summer sun. If you have trouble waking up and getting to the gym, try leaving yourself a motivational Post-it note on your sneakers and putting them by your bed. Once you get into the routine, you'll be able to stick with it into fall and winter.  

  

4. Try Online Training. Online training is one of the best ways to work out - without any excuses. All you need is a laptop and an Internet connection. You can train inside if you prefer an air-conditioned space or outside if you like fresh air and sunshine.   

  

5. Fuel Up Beforehand. Always eat a small meal or snack at least 90 minutes before any workout to ensure you have the best levels of energy. This is especially important when your body is working extra hard in the heat.   

  

Always make sure you challenging yourself and having fun in the process!.
