Not all fats are created equal. Chronic inflammation is at the root of many modern diseases, and dietary fats play a huge role.
The Good (Anti-Inflammatory)
- Omega-3s: Found in fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), walnuts, and flaxseeds.
- Monounsaturated: Olive oil, avocados.
The Bad (Pro-Inflammatory)
- Trans Fats: Processed foods, fried foods.
- Excess Omega-6: Vegetable oils like soybean, corn, and sunflower oil found in most processed dressings and snacks.
Balancing your ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 is a powerful way to reduce systemic body pain and inflammation.
