Eat to Heal: The Best Anti-Inflammatory Foods for Energy and Wellness for Busy Moms
Here’s the thing. If you are eating to reduce inflammation and create longevity for your life, it’s not trendy, and it’s not even that exciting. It certainly doesn’t sell on social media.
Michael Pollan writes, “eat real food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” – pretty incredible advice. But it’s not fancy. Real food doesn’t come with updated packaging, a marketing strategy, and social media influencers to push it to the top. It’s just real food. And I think we’ve forgotten that.
“Reduce inflammation”
“get rid of belly bloat”
“foods for longevity”
It’s all we hear. But we really need to hear is,
“did you know that walnuts have all the omega-3s your body needs in a day? That they are full of vitamin E and folate for your brain health, and helps lower your cholesterol?” Walnuts. Just plain walnuts.
Or.
“Did you know that cherries have both magnesium and tryptophan in them to help you get a deeper sleep?” That’s right, the Thanksgiving turkey kind of tryptophan.
Because when we focus on the simplicity of our real food, we automatically reduce our inflammation – not only in our guts, but in the stress of our minds too.
