Inflammatory Foods List
All processed foods can cause inflammation. They can alter the bacteria that live in our gut, and that alteration has the ability to interact with our immune system and eventually trigger it in a way that leads to chronic inflammation. Very generally, inflammation is the body’s immune system’s response to irritation, like a germ, a splinter, or psychological stress.
Inflammation is your immune system’s response to injury, illness, and other irritants-including stress. While inflammation is far more complex than just the food you eat (and it’s not always a bad thing) some foods can have inflammatory effects and others anti-Inflammatory.
