#health - this post is my opinion. You are welcome to your own. I'm not really interested in debate, but small focused corrections are always appreciated.

Inflammation is an important process that humans (and other life) evolved in order to combat problems (pathogens, foreign agents, and necrotic cells).

Pro-inflammatory foods are necessary in order for the inflammatory process to work.

Pro-inflammatory foods do not CAUSE inflammation they SUPPORT inflammation. The exception is if you have inflammatory bowel disease and are sensitive to the particular food. If your body doesn't need inflammation right now, pro-inflammatory foods won't cause inflammation. If your body needs to be inflammed, those foods will support that process.

Pro-inflammatory foods are thus positively associated with inflammation, but that statement is too confusing for most people, so I said it differently in the prior paragraph.

Do not try to control your body's inflammation by avoiding pro-inflammatory foods. Because if you succeed in that endeavour it means your body wanted to use inflammation for something (probably a good thing unless you have an autoimmune condition) and you starved it of the ability to do so. This tactic may be useful in people with auto-immune conditions though. nostr.topeth.info
