As per previous blog, Inflammation and your health: A lack of adequate sleep and the foods we eat are some of the causes of excess inflammation in the body resulting in various diseases. These are a few tips that may help.
Make sure you try to retire to bed the same time each night to maintain a sleep routine. Keep your room dark for sleeping, that is, TV, mobile phones off.
Supplement with omega-3-rich fish oil. There are certain supplements recommend for everyone, and fish oil is one of them. But don't buy just any fish oil supplement. They aren't all created equal. Look for one that contains oil from fresh, wild-caught, deep sea fish. And make sure it's been molecularly distilled and tested for purity. It should include at least 300 mg. of EPA and 200 mg. of DHA.
Cut back on processed foods. Foods like cookies, breads, cakes, chips, crackers and pastries are loaded with omega-6 oils. In fact, you'll find them in almost all snack foods.
Meat eater? Buy grass-fed meats. Remember, most of today's commercial livestock is grain-fed, which means you're getting more and more omega-6 fatty acids from the meat you're eating. Meat from grass-fed livestock has a more favorable omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio than grain-fed animals.
Do you smoke? Quit smoking drink lots of fluids such as warm teas, water, juices and exercise at least three times per week.
Have a good day.
