Inflammation is a natural response of the body to infection and injuries to stay healthy. But when this inflammation becomes chronic is when it continues for a prolonged period and cause unwanted damage to the cells in your body. Unfortunately, some foods can increase the inflammatory reactions in your body. Foods that are loaded with unhealthier fats like trans fat and saturated fat, and foods that are filled with sugars are promoters of inflammation. The good news, however, is that some foods help to reduce inflammatory markers in the body. Whole foods like vegetables, fruits, seafood, nuts, whole grains, and seeds have a matrix of beneficial nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, healthy fats, and phytonutrients which helps to reduce inflammation. Here are some inflammatory foods and good swap options to keep your body in a healthier state:

Inflammation is simply our immune system’s natural response to illnesses and injury. This involves the release of inflammatory chemicals in the bloodstream to protect the body from foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses. In the case of an injury, a localized inflammatory response helps in the healing process. There are two types of inflammation: The acute and chronic form. Acute inflammation helps us heal, so you can think of it as the “good” kind of inflammation. But the chronic inflammation is associated with chronic conditions or diseases, so you can describe it as the “bad” kind of inflammation.

When you hear the word inflammation, what comes to your mind? Most people probably think inflammation is all about redness and swelling that follows an infection, wound, or injury. But this is only “acute inflammation” – a beneficial response by the immune system that encourages healing, and usually goes off once the injury improves. Chronic inflammation is another form of inflammation that is less obvious. While your immune system becomes activated, the inflammatory response stays on all the time at a low level. This is unlike the acute inflammatory response that is intermittent during an acute injury or infection. In other words, chronic inflammation may begin even when you have no injury. Worst still, it does not end when it should. Several factors could trigger chronic inflammation, from lifestyle factors such as poor sleep, obesity, or exposure to environmental toxins.

No matter how much you love your work, you can easily burn out by staring at a screen all day. That’s why so many companies encourage their employees to take self-care “reset” trips and offer more paid time off (PTO) in recent years. The best thing about self-care travel is that it physically removes you from your everyday environment and responsibilities. You can do any relaxing activity you want—even if it’s simply sitting and watching a sunset—in an entirely new place away from your daily obligations. And if you are in recovery, this kind of trip could do wonders for helping you rebuild your life. But where should you go on your trip? What places will provide the best opportunities for refreshing your mind, body, and soul? Jones Family Chiropractic has listed a few of our favorite self-care destinations in the U.S.:

However, studies have shown a direct impact of low magnesium levels (hypomagnesemia) on mood. Low levels of this mineral may contribute to symptoms of anxiety and depression. Magnesium plays a critical role in the brain and that’s why it is dubbed as the “original chill pill.” Too little of this mineral can leave you feeling stressed, fatigued, and panicked.

Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a huge role in making your body system function optimally. Without magnesium, your nerves won’t send and receive messages; your muscles won’t work the way they’re supposed to. In fact, magnesium is needed for more than 300 chemical reactions in the body. Unfortunately, your body cannot produce or make magnesium on its own. What this means is that your body depends on the food you eat for magnesium. Although you can get magnesium from multivitamins and supplements, it’s best to get this mineral from natural foods. Besides, taking magnesium supplements can be dangerous if you have certain conditions, such as kidney failure, heart block, bowel obstruction, heart block, and myasthenia gravis. The best way to keep healthy levels of magnesium in your body is to eat foods that are high in this mineral.

Magnesium is a vital nutrient needed for many processes in the body, including nerve function, blood sugar and pressure regulation, bone formation, and more. Magnesium is a macromineral along with sodium, phosphorus, calcium, chloride, potassium, and sulfur. You can obtain this mineral mainly by eating a healthy diet made up of a wide range of foods. However, studies have shown that a lot of people, especially those in the Western world, do not meet their magnesium needs with diet. Little wonder, health care providers might recommend a mineral supplement. More so, some people have health conditions that require them to take a mineral supplement.

This mineral is an essential cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that are involved in diverse biochemical reactions. These reactions impact a number of body processes, including: • Cellular energy production and storage • Protein synthesis • DNA synthesis • Bone metabolism • Cardiac function • Nerve signal transmission • Blood pressure • The conduction of signals between muscles and nerves • Stabilization of cells However, less than 2% of Americans have been estimated to experience magnesium deficiency, also known as hypomagnesemia. The bad part is that it’s difficult to know you have a deficiency as symptoms don’t become obvious until your magnesium level becomes extremely low.
