Inflammation is the enemy – and the root of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, aging, obesity and a wealth of other conditions and diseases.
Renowned dermatologist Nicholas Perricone says reducing inflammation at the cellular levels can change your life for the better… and it can be done in a matter of 28 days with his science-driven program. Within in just three days on the Perricone Prescription, you’ll witness undeniable changes that can be seen with the naked eye. You’ll fight wrinkles, fat and disease in one swoop.
According to Dr. Perricone, when you examine disease-riddled cells under a microscope, inflammation is always present. He believes that inflammation is the foundation of disease. Based on this information, he created an anti-inflammatory diet to combat the effects -- because it is what you put in your mouth that contributes to the condition.
Sugar and high–glycemic carbohydrates rapidly convert to sugar. Elevated blood sugar in turn triggers chemical reactions in the body that cause inflammation. Protein actually assists in repairing the cells that have been damaged. However, Dr. Perricone maintains that it is important to be cautious in the proteins you select as some create proinflammatory reactions. He cites beef, lamb, veal and pork as unfavorable proteins. As you eliminate these inflammatory-causing foods, you’ll notice weight loss as a by-product of your efforts.
Other foods he reccomends avoiding are pastas, breads, bananas, pizza and other foods high in sugar or foods that break down into sugar, as they contribute to inflammation. Instead, he recommends that his followers stock up on healthy proteins and fats such as avocados, berries, dark leafy greens, vegetables and salmon. In addition to enhancing weight loss, these foods also contribute to healthier, younger looking skin. .
