It may seem a little depressing that so many of the foods we love are causing us harm. However, it would be nearly impossible to follow these research-proven dietary guidelines every meal every day. Also, heredity plays a role in how easily we develop these chronic diseases. Does this mean we should never eat pasta, bread, dairy, beans or a perfectly marbled New York strip? Of course not. When consulting with patients on these issues, I guess the world that comes up most often is "moderation." Since almost nobody could eat perfectly all the time, we should strive to eat as many of the anti-inflammatory foods and as little of the pro-inflammatory foods as possible. By taking extra nutritional supplements (absolutely essential, in my humble opinion), we can offset or counteract the negative effects of the pro-inflammatory foods we do eat.
