Pflugerville DIET AND INFLAMMATION
Diet may play a role in obesity and chronic pain, not just in weight-bearing joints but other parts of the body, too. Poor diet many times contributes to obesity, influences the immune system adversely, and lengthens recovery from inflammatory injury. A diet that is anti-inflammatory in nature instead of a pharmacological intervention after injury may well help with these issues when replaced for the Standard American Diet.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS
