5 food types that cause inflammation

Trans fat

Trans fat raises your bad cholesterol level and lowers the level of good cholesterol. This can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and type-2 diabetes.

Added sugars

Consuming a lot of added sugars can lead to chronic inflammation since our bodies are not designed to process excessive amounts of added sugar throughout the day.

Omega-6s

Our body uses omega-6 fatty acids for deriving energy. They help our body produce arachidonic acid that promotes inflammation, blood clotting, and the constriction of blood vessels.

Refined carbohydrates

They are stripped of their nutrition and lack fiber. They break down easily and enter the bloodstream quickly to spike blood sugar, which causes an inflammatory response.

Red and processed meats

Both red meat and processed meat are high in saturated fat which causes inflammation. They cause one's bloodstream to become soiled with bacterial toxins known as endotoxins.
