The Anti-Inflammatory Diet: How To Make Your Fridge Healthier
Is your refrigerator teeming with less-than-healthy foods? If so, make a clean sweep and replace them with wholesome anti-inflammatory choices:
1. Get rid of:
- Creamers that contain unhealthy fats and added sweeteners
- Artificial additives or sugars
- Regular margarines or spreads that contain “partially hydrogenated oil”
- Yogurt with added sugar
- Sugary dried fruit or artificial sweeteners
- Fruit juices
- American or processed cheeses including “cheese food.”
2. Replace with:
- Organic, hormone-free whole milk, preferably grass-fed
- Organic unsweetened soy, almond, cashew, rice or oat beverages (look for products that do not contain the thickening agent carrageenan, and that are calcium-fortified)
- Plain, full-fat organic yogurt (add your own organically grown fruit)
- Small amounts of natural, hard cheeses.
