Is anti-inflammation a meme?
No, but anti-inflammation diets are generally unnecessary for most healthy people most of the time.
Yes and noIf you eat something and it makes you feel bad, you should avoid itOtherwise, if you feel fine you’ll continue to feel fine on an “anti-inflammatory” diet but be really annoying
>>22043928>If you eat something and it makes you feel bad, you should avoid itdoes not apply to vegans.
>>22043918Nah, I'm in my early 30's and I see people my age get like arthritis and shit because they don't exercise and don't eat their salmon and spinach. I also have neuroinflammation from a gnarly accident I had when I was younger so I'm pretty much forced to eat really healthy and when I don't I get gnarly headaches and stuff.
>>22043918No it's not, but the effort required is wildly overstatedMy mom is a doctor, she got our entire family's DNA sequenced and all of us have an extremely common generic defect (it's in like 40% of humans) that makes vitamin B12 and D difficult to absorb/synthesize. It's called methylation or whatever, i honest don't know much. But i was told to take a couple of supplements and then eat a few raw veggies/leafy greens with meals. That's it. No restriction on dairy or meat or anything like that
>>22043939Is your mom breeding superkids?
>>22043918personally I'm pro-inflation
>>22043918While its something of a meme I am sure, there is something to the relationship between diet and inflammation. I have experianced this personally. About 1 year ago I went to a super clean diet that was basically meat, veggies, eggs, light dairy, a little fruit, ect. But no fucking sugar, processed food, bulk carbs. I never bought into or even really thought about inflamation diet stuff. Seemed like just stuff w00 dorks talked about on podcasts. I have had chronic achellies tendinitis resulting fron an injury for about a decade. Its proven t9 be very resistant to treatment and VERY painful. Every step is like a knife. For treatment my options have been half measures that didn't really help much ( supporting footware, physical therapy, RICE type stuff), dangerous drugs, or risky surgury. I made the diet change for other reasons, so what happened was a real surprise. About 2 weeks in to the clean diet I was walking up my stairs and realized the constant pain was nearly gone. I remember that moment clearly, but I dont know for sure when the pain went away. Chronic pain is funny that way. Now a year later I have maintained this result. The issue is not entirely resolved but something like 80+ percent. And now I have more strength and flexibility in the joint so im slowly rebuilding my lower leg. I dont know that the tendon will ever fully heal but im confident its going to continue to slowly improve. Now, I dont know what exactly happened, but in sure it was caused by the diet. I have on a few occasions gone on vacations and the like during which I have reverted for a short time to a normal ( i.e. shitty) american diet and it takes just a few days of vaca restraunt food for the swelling and pain to come back to my ankle. Then when I get home it takes a few days of clean eating to return to its new normal state.
>>22043959(Cont)Now, I dont know what the exact mechanism is here, and i dont nessesarily know if it is because the diet im eating is anti inflammatory, or if its more that the shitty avg American diet is inflammatory. Maybe some of both. But I lean to the latter. My intuition is that something or multiple things in the common diet cause all kinds of physical and metabolic malfunctions, one of which is over reaction inflamation. Sugar, too many carbs, processed shit, low quality fat, too much sodium, or something else. But again. I dont know. I just know it worked better than anything else I have tried or been offered by doctors. Just try it and draw your own conclusions. Im not a fucking hippy so this expeiarice was very unexpected. I already knew our national diet was fucked but this really has opened my eyes to how bad things have gotten. Sorry for the wall or text >tldr it works i think but it might just be an elimination of harmful shit now some superfood effect idk
>>22043959>>22043973You can have inflammation caused by healthy food simply due to individual food intolerances/allergies. Wheat is probably the most common plant food to cause problems, and milk for animal products. But some people can have them with zero issues. Another thing is that carbohydrate tolerance varies widely. Lactose intolerance is the most well known carbohydrate intolerance but there's also starch intolerance, sucrose intolerance, fructose intolerance. If you regularly consume a carbohydrate you don't tolerate well then it will cause inflammation but in someone else it may not.Anti-inflammatory diets can still cause inflammation in some people too for the same reasons. Beyond "eat less highly processed food" there is no one diet that will work for everyone. There could be a standard diet that may work for most people but everyone wants to say their diet is the best one when there is so much variation in what works for people due to their biology.
>>22043918I have Crohns and its not a meme for me, since I have active inflammation. Its probably a meme for you if you're healthy and don't have inflammation.
>>22043918Similar to >>22043973 I definitely noticed if I eat certain foods my joints and old foot injury will ache, but if I eat clean (fish, fruit, whole grains, veg) I feel great.>>22043932Sounds rough but it’s good you found an effective way to deal with it without medication
yeah I have some issue in my body where going on keto diet helps what causes it or what the actual fix is : who knowspeople who dont have issues probably dont gain much from anti-inflammation or keto diets since their body doesnt get inflamed from eating food
>>22043958
Who the fuck is inflamed? I'm 40 and I've not had any inflammation issues. Who are these people? I feel great and I eat whatever I want.
>>22045168how would you feel if you didn't have breakfast this morning?
>>22044966Are you sure it's carbs in general that are a problem and not that keto forces you to cut something out that you don't tolerate for other reasons? Have you tried just getting carbs from fruit or milk?
>>22043931Meat makes them feel bad and they avoid it thoughever
>>22043958Yeah! Me too I love inflation
>>22045174I did have breakfast this morning
>>22045184are you sure?
People pushing this shit on social media have no idea what inflammation even is. If you don't tolerate something avoid it, but otherwise just eat a normal, balanced diet.
>>22043959> realized the constant pain was nearly gone. I remember that moment clearlyChronic pain is funny that waySimilar thing happened to me but with general joint pain. I was 21 and had been suffering from increasing joint pain since 14. Was on the same arthritis meds as my grandma lol But they weren’t helping.Doctor suggested i try a gluten free diet because inflammation blahblahblah.I tried it though and it worked. i was sitting at my job during a very humid rainy summer day, and it just hit me that i wasn’t in pain anymore when it should’ve been one of my worse off days due to humidity. Crazy bizThis was probably 2 years before the gluten free fad really took off too. Doctors were just coming around to the idea that diet can affect things other than digestion directly. I told some old guy about it, he went gluten free just to see for himself and it worked out well for him too. He was eternally grateful to me, he raved to everyone about it.A decade later i get a real diagnosis related to my thyroid though, and now I’m back on gluten lmaoIt’s nice, i missed it
>>22044128Bingus If you’re this guy >>22045168 it’s a memeBut if you’re dealing with weird pain, bloating, headaches, weird stuff it might be worth a try
