Anti-Inflammatory Cooking Club - Anybody?
Posted: Sat Aug 17, 2024 4:18 pm
Afternoon all... 
Often, I hear a few of you asking me about what it is that I do for my "Anti – Inflammatory Dietary" needs? And I usually just reply with something along the lines of the following:
* NO Processed Foods
* NO Added sugar to anything, (not even Tea & Coffee)
* NO Softdrinks
* Mainly 'Plant-Based' &
* Loads of fruit
* NO Bread (for me)
* NO Alcohol
* No Meats for me either, however, many people do need Meat as an Iron source...
* Preferably 'Wild-caught' seafoods, (Fish, Crustaceans & oysters of course...
I also have my own special way of preparing Raw Beets to make them into a nectar. Raw Beets have the highest content of Raw Nitrate, and when consumed becomes 'Nitric Oxide – NO (no not laughing gas like you have at the dentist). Raw Nitrate once made bio-available converts to non-essential amino acids (our bodies already make), then they aid in the expansion of our vascular systems, which in turn improves our circulation, and endurance during exercise... Quite simply, our bodies are able to utilise more of the Oxygen in our blood.
My own method for preparing Raw Beet Juice (RBJ), is as follow:
* Clean, skin & remove heads & tails of beets
* Place in a large Pot & just barely cover them with PURE water, (I am immunocompromised hence I cannot risk infections)
* Turn on low heat for circa 45 - 60 mins (testing every so often to see if Beets are softening etc)
* After about an hour, TURN OFF Heat, and cover with Lid & leave to keep softening Beets while no longer cooking them, (2-3 hours)
* Remove from Pot dice & place in blended adding pure water to achieve the desired consistency desirable to one's palate etc.
* Consume 500ml – 700ml approx' 1.5 - 2 hrs Before doing exercise
* Keep doing this every day, and after about a month... Take a 2-3 day break before recommencing the above...
In the USA, the good people from Health Central have created a number of "Anti – Inflammatory" recipes...
These recipes include ingredients that thwart inflammation and they’re ideal for people living with RA, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, MS, and other inflammatory conditions.
Welcome to our Anti-Inflammatory Cooking Club! If you live with an autoimmune condition like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or ankylosing spondylitis, to name a few, you know all too well about the importance of keeping inflammation at bay. In addition to medications and other prescribed therapies for managing your condition, your doctor has probably told you that the foods you eat can have an impact on inflammation, too.
So what does an anti-inflammatory menu look like? For starters, it’s high in monounsaturated fats and low in saturated fats. Think fish, avocado, nuts, and lean meats. You’ll want to add fiber-rich whole grains over refined carbs, so sub in brown rice for white and select a whole-wheat sourdough loaf over a regular one. Nix highly processed foods as much as possible (most anything that comes out of a package, box, or fast-food window) and load up on fresh produce. And not to be a total bummer, but you should probably limit your sweets. The idea of cleaner eating is great, but if you’re like us, you need a plan. That’s where our Cooking Club comes in handy! The following 15 dietitian-created recipes are not only eye-catching and delicious, but they also include healthy ingredients that aim to keep your inflammation levels in check. What are we waiting for? Let’s get cooking!
Never worry about whether or not one fails their diet... Just simply get back up & do it all again, in my view...
Enjoy & Bon appetite...
