WHAT COMMON FOODS CAUSE INFLAMMATION AND HOW DOES INFLAMMATION AFFECT YOUR MUSCULAR SKELETAL SYSTEM.

By now, you must have probably heard about inflammation, which is essentially your body’s response to harmful toxins. It can stem from poor diet like drinking sugary sodas, eating ultra-processed foods, and too many calories). If left untreated, inflammation can lead to various diseases, like heart disease, diabetes, and more. So, you’ll want to eat them in moderation and watch your intake, while loading up with other anti-inflammatory foods such as fresh produce, healthy fats, and lean proteins. So, it’s important to keep inflammation at bay and focus on eating foods that reduce those levels in the body.

If you find yourself constantly battling inflammation, the foods you eat may be to blame. Check your diet for these inflammation-causing foods, and find out what you should be eating instead.

FRIED FOODS

When it comes to eating fried foods, you just should not. If you suffer from the symptoms of inflammation and your diet consists of foods that are fried, chances are that this is the leading cause of your issue. When foods are fried in vegetable oil you’re indirectly causing damage to your body. The main contributor to inflammation found in fried foods is advanced glycation end product. In addition to causing inflammation, fried foods can cause obesity, heart disease, as well as a host of other issues.

PROCESSED MEAT

Eating meat, in general, is not particularly unhealthy. However, when it comes to eating meat, not all meat is created equal. When it comes to changing your diet to reduce inflammation, there are certain types of meat that may be causing you problems. If you’ve been bored with your daily turkey sandwich, try switching it up but avoid deli meat entirely. Processed meats such as deli meat contain more advanced glycation end products (AGEs) than most other meats. AGEs are inflammatory compounds that are created when the meats are dried, smoked, or otherwise processed and cooked at high temperatures. These AGEs are known to cause inflammation and lead to chronic diseases like colon cancer. That’s why processed meats are just one of the foods cardiologists’ advice against.

Canned Soup 

Making your homemade soup can be a healthy alternative to unhealthier store-bought varieties. Foods high in monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is often found in canned soup, lead to chronic inflammation. Eating a diet high in MSG-containing foods has also been linked to an increased risk of obesity and diabetes. Pick canned soups that are MSG-free or make your own.

SWEETENED FOODS

Sugary cereals and other treats can raise blood glucose levels, which can lead to a spike in inflammation. The effect is more pronounced in people who have any form of glucose intolerance. Choose whole foods that are free from added sugar, such as whole apples instead of flavored applesauce.

HOW INFLAMMATION AFFECT YOUR MUSCULAR SKELETAL SYSTEM.

The musculoskeletal system is the system of muscles, tendons and ligament, bones and joints, and associated tissues that move the body and help us to maintain our structure and form. The health of this system is defined as the absence of disease or illness within all of the parts of this system. When pain arises in the muscles, bones, or other tissues, it can be a result of either a sudden incident (or acute pain) or an ongoing condition (called chronic pain). Keeping this system of the body healthy is crucial not only to health in other body systems, but also for overall happiness and quality of life.

Musculoskeletal symptoms are prevalent and may arise from joints, bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, or bursas. Common symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders include pain, weakness, stiffness, joint noises, and decreased range of motion. Inflammation may cause pain, swelling, warmth, tenderness, impaired function, and sometimes redness of the overlying skin. Inflammation can result from many different musculoskeletal disorders, such as autoimmune disorders (for example, rheumatoid arthritis) and infections. When inflammation affects a joint, fluid may accumulate inside the joint, causing pain, swelling, and decreased range of motion.

The bottom line

You’ll do yourself good by checking the labels and avoiding products that contain hydrogenated oils, added sugar, and refined carbs. Instead, consume a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, herbs and spices, olive oil, fatty fish, and nuts.
