Inflammation...a nasty little thing that causes poop issues, joint issues and difficulty losing weight. There are several things you can do to help fight the inflammation, I am going to hit on three of them here.
WATER: Drink 1/2 your weight in ounces every single day. EVERY single day. You can add a bit of lemon juice to it first thing in the morning to help cleanse the liver. Also, if you don't drink enough water, you body will go into dehydration mode and hold on to any liquid it gets. This causes inflammation in the form of water weight. While in dehydration mode, your body will also pull fluid from wherever it can get it. This includes your joints. You know those squishy pads between your bones that keep things cushioned? Those things (in simple terms) start to dry up and this causes even more join pain.
FOOD: Many things we ingest on a daily basis contribute to inflammation. One of the biggest culprits is sugar.
*Sugar can be found in baked goods, candy, energy bars, soda, and lots of well known sugar foods. But then there are the not so well know such as refined carbs, peanut butter, fruit juice, sweetened yogurt and condiments.
*Vegetable oil: Mayonnaise, salad dressings, barbecue sauce, crackers, bread, potato chips.
*Fried foods: french fries, fried chicken, fish sticks, chicken tenders, onion rings.
*Refined flour: Pizza, white bread, crackers, pasta, pretzels, flour tortillas, breakfast cereals, bagels.
*Dairy: Milk, soft cheeses, yogurt, butter.
*Artificial sweetener: No-sugar-added products, no-calorie “Diet” soft drinks.
*Artificial additives: Breakfast cereals, processed foods containing fruit, candy, ice cream.
*Saturated fat: Burgers, pizza, candy, chips.
*Processed meat: Bacon, hot dogs, bologna, sausage, jerky.
*Trans-fat foods: Margarine/shortening; baked goods like doughnuts, cookies, and muffins; non-dairy coffee creamers; frozen pizza; frosting.
*Fast food: You know what I'm talking about, I don't need to type it out.
EASE: Are you familiar with turmeric? This powerful spice is in Plexus Ease and is packed with anti-inflammatories and antioxidants. Turmeric has been proven to fight off destructive free radicals, rejuvenate cells, cleanse the liver, protect the heart , boost moods and supports healthy brain functioning. BUT normally, turmeric taken in pill form is ineffective because you need FAT with it. Our Ease has a superior one in the form of the Green Lipped Mussel, an Omega3 fatty acid, which is up to 100 times more effective in reducing inflammation than a regular Omega 3 supplement! Plexus Ease also contains serrapeptase & Green Lipped Mussel! Google those ingredients, you’ll be impressed!
