Many health professionals agree that chronic, body-wide inflammation affects every aspect of health and may even contribute to or cause various illnesses, diseases and medical conditions.  In fact, studies have shown that certain chronic diseases (such as atherosclerosis, diabetes and Alzheimer's) have an inflammatory component.

To reduce inflammation in the body, natural medicine doctors often recommend eating an anti-inflammatory diet.  An anti-inflammatory diet generally consists of eating 7-9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, eating 3-5 servings of cruciferous vegetables and alliums (garlic, onions, leeks) per week, consuming adequate amounts of fiber, consuming foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and other healthy fats, and avoiding processed foods and refined sugars.
