Top 6 Foods That Cause Inflammation

Hey folks, welcome back. This is Deenaz here, founder and CEO of Deenaz Fitness since 1993. I am from Hyderabad and I'm speaking to you from my home office here in Hyderabad. You know, I've been on a mission to help people to lose weight, get fit, and get healthy. And in this period of COVID-19, We also have to be concerned about our immunity systems. We have to start learning and understanding that we have to do everything from the comforts of our own home. Today we don't have a choice. We have a lot of stresses, we have a lot of strains that also causes us to gain weight. But one of the biggest reasons and one of the biggest things that happens when you gain weight is the inflammation in your body goes up. So in— today I'm going to be talking to you about The 6 foods that actually cause inflammation. What exactly is inflammation? And the 6 foods that you need to avoid to— that cause inflammation. So inflammation really and truly is the body's immune system. Immune system responds to an irritant or a germ or a foreign body. Your immune system attacks your healthy tissues, and when that happens, the inflammation in the body goes up. And the body does not function properly. When the body doesn't function properly, you start gaining that weight irrespective of what you do. So some of the causes of inflammation are prolonged medication. You know, I had a client that came and met me, and she was referred to me actually by my family doctor, and she said that whatever she did, she wasn't able to lose weight. So I dug deep into what she was doing and I realized that she was taking too much of medication. And then I said that I am not a doctor, but if we can bring down the medication, if it is not necessary, don't take it, bring down the dosage, and let's see if you start losing weight. Under the guidance of the doctor and the guidance of what I was telling her to do, she started bringing down the medication. Whatever she was taking the medication for, and the inflammation in the body came down. When the inflammation came in the body came down, she started losing weight very easily. So be careful of if you're taking prolonged medication, that could be a cause of a lot of inflammation that is happening in your body, and that in turn could lead to gaining weight. You know, and a lot of people— another cause is industrial chemicals, chemicals that come into foods that are processed. Sugary, uh, sugar substitutes. All these foods have a lot of industrial chemical, and that could be a cause of inflammation in the body. Third is autoimmune disorder. When the body starts attacking itself, some of the organs might not function properly, and that could cause inflammation. So now I'm going to be talking to you about the top 6 foods that actually cause inflammation, and these are the foods that you really want to avoid so that it reduces the inflammation in your body. So sugars, artificial foods, these are the things that taste very good. Fructose and corn sugar, these are the things that taste very good, but these are the things that cause a lot of inflammation in the body. So if you are used to taking too much of sugar substitute, bring that down tremendously. Trans fat, artificial trans fats. Now, fats that are available in that, that's like margarine, Dalda. But we are not at our homes, we are not consuming all that. So why am I talking about it? These fats are available in the ready-made foods that we buy, in the pre-fried foods that we buy. Like the fried chickens and the fried burgers and the fried samosas, fried mirchi bhajis. All these fried items that are available out there in the market have got a lot of trans fats, and when you have them on a regular basis, the inflammation in the body goes up. Vegetable and seed oils. When you take too much of vegetable and seed oils, your inflammation in the body goes up. If you are one of those who are consuming a lot of refined carbohydrates, there is a possibility that your inflammation in the body will also go up. Another reason is excess amount or excessive amount of alcohol. Anyone who consumes a lot of alcohol on a regular basis has high levels of inflammation in the body. And last but not the least, when you eat too much of processed food that also causes a lot of inflammation in the body. So once again, the 6 foods that you need to avoid which cause a lot of inflammation are sugars, artificial sugars, the fructose, corn sugars, artificial trans fat acids, vegetable and seed oil, refined carbohydrates, excess amount of— excessive amount of alcohol, and processed foods. When you cut out at least these in your diet, the inflammation in your body starts to come down, and you will realize that your bloating that you feel will start coming down as well. So I want you to again just make notes, take one of them. So even out of these 6, if you're eat— consuming even all 6, take one, make that change. And then go and implement it in your lives, and you will start leading a more healthy life. Because when you have inflammation in the body, you start feeling very irritated all the time, because you start feeling bloated all the time. So I just want you to take one thing at a time. I don't want you to make too many changes, because when you make too many changes, it's not sustainable. So I'm going to be giving you short information in short bites, in like chocolate-sized bites. Which you can go and implement this. So I want you to today implement even one of them. Take it out of your diet. It takes— remember, it takes 21 days to form a— sorry— to form a habit. So go out there and make that change. This is Deenaz. I am speaking to you from my home office here in Hyderabad. I look forward to transforming you and making you fit and healthy and making India healthy. Thank you and goodbye. I will be where you are. I will be my own.
