"Stress, little or no exercise, genetic
and lifestyle factors can all promote inflammation, but poor diet is
commonly the main contributor, and the perfect place to begin
addressing inflammation."
"The Anti-Inflammatory Diet or a
Wellness Diet is not a diet in the traditional sense - it is not
intended as a program to lose weight (although people can lose
weight on the diet), nor is it an eating plan to stay on for a brief
period of time."
"General Diet Tips: 1. Try to put as
much variety as posible into your food choices. 2. Include as many
fresh foods as possible. 3. Minimize (or eliminate altogether) your
consumption of fast foods and processed foods. 4. Eat an abundance
of fruits and vegetables."
"Try to drink 6-8 glasses of pure water
a day. Use bottled water or get a water purifier."

~ This is only a
partial list of anti-inflammatory foods. ~
There is no limit to the amount of
food that you can eat during any part of the 3 Step Detox. The only
limit is the types
of food. Be sure to drink plenty of
room temperature water. You may add a small amount of white
rice to any meal for additional bulk. All vegetables should be raw,
stir fried, or steamed. Always add extra-virgin olive oil to
vegetables.
