San Diego Personal Trainer Rivak Hoffman asks, Are you inflaming your body?

What good is working out day in and day out, if your poisoning your body with inflammatory foods!  The body will never lose weight and you will eventually kill yourself. Don’t be an oblivious asshole and ignore what you put in your mouth! Be smart about your total body fitness. This includes nutritional choices.

Chronic low grade inflammation is involved in all stages of atherosclerosis, the stepping stone to clogging up your arteries, then eventually having either a myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral artery disease and even dementia!                                                                                     Hey! Inflammation doesn’t just happen on its own, being stupid with smoking, eating fatty, sugary, high caloric foods, and not working out does!

Food Culprits:

1.Too much consumed refined sugars,

2.Too much consumed flour products

3. Too much Omega 6 vegetable oils such as  vegetable, soybean, corn and sunflower.

Are you wondering how sugar inflames your body? Well here is the short version.

Sugar acts like an abrasive. Visualize glass shards rubbing on the inside of blood vessels, turning them beefy red and raw. This in turn creates inflammation! Protein antibodies come to the rescue to heal, and plaques are formed acting like Band Aides! Got the picture?

Omega 6 is also an irritant. The body’s protectant mechanism is to produce cytokines, which are proteins that respond to infection, inflammation and trauma. The end result is MORE internal vessel trauma.

Think About it! and repeat after me!

The human body is not designed to consume processed foods. Nor is the human body designed to consume food packed with sugar or soaked in Omega-6 oils!

So whats the solution?  Simple!

1. Eat more protein

2. Consume colorful fruits and vegetables

3. Think food in its natural state!

4. Use olive oil or butter from grass fed beef. Think Omega 3s!!

5. See your MD and get a C-reative Protein test to measure inflammation.

6. Weight training 3 days per week for 30 sets per workout will reduce inflammation by 35%
