Fair enough, I'll rephrase it this way: most large mammal meat causes inflammation for me and my partner, whereas chicken, turkey, fish, rabbit, etc are all fine (and I should say I used to basically eat meat with carbs). As far as omega fatty acids are concerned, I believe one shouldn't let their omega-6 and omega-9 levels be much higher than omega-3. Gluten is associated with all sorts of issues that I think we will be learning more about in the next few years. There are plenty of alternatives so that one is easy for me. I can still make pasta (chickpea, lentil, brown rice), and use tortillas (almond, chickpea, cassava).
- scubadude 3y agoHow can you possibly measure inflammation much less attribute it to a single variable?
- notamy 3y ago> How can you possibly measure inflammation There’s a number of inflammation markers in the blood that can be measured directly via lab test (cRP, ESR, blood cell counts, ...).
- datameta 3y agoExactly this, I get regular blood work. On top of that, I can feel the inflammation. It is pressure, or warmth. It's a very obvious bodily reaction. Now of course for the average immune system the effects would be more subtle, but could still be noticed in energy levels, focus/attention, etc. And even if not noticeable, low-grade inflammation long term is one of the main factors of age-related decline. As for attributing a body's reaction to a single food, there's something called the elimination diet where one isolates the variables one at a time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_diet?wprov=sfla1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_diet?wprov=sfla1
