Dr. Robert Whitfield advises reducing processed foods (referencing the NOVA scale — avoid items rated 3 or 4) and increasing whole/real foods to lower inflammation. He notes that dietary changes can reduce an individual's inflammation score but may not eliminate it if a foreign medical device (e.g., hip, knee, breast implant) is driving persistent inflammation.
I mean, there are terrible things to have in your diet, and they're in all the processed foods that are, you know, for your audience that can go look at the Nova scale. Like, you should not eat anything that's a three or four if you can avoid it. Real food always helps this problem. So being able to get that into your diet will help you. But so she just, you know, as you start doing this, you will drop your inflammation score. The problem is it's going to stop at some point because you still have a device that contributes to it. If, if in fact, that' the driver. And whether it's a hip, knee, breast implant, all of them contribute to inflammation because they're not foreign. They're a foreign, you know, object in your body.
