Diet
Healthy diet seek to
boost metabolism by avoiding foods that cause slow digestion.
In the following, tips
aimed at a healthy diet promotes metabolism.
The body distinguishes
between processed foods rich in toxins and causing inflammation, and those
healthy.
Thus, when processed
foods, the innate immune system (the first protective line to defend the body
against its naturally occurring invasive organisms) responds, increasing the
production of the stress hormone and slowing down the metabolism.
In contrast, some
"healthy" foods cause an increase in weight, constant fatigue and
digestive problems, as well as impaired thyroid functions and hormone balance.
Inflammatory foods are divided into two types: specific inflammatory foods, and
general inflammatory foods.
Specific inflammatory
foods are identified through a blood test, which detects the level of
inflammation in a particular individual.
The general inflammatory
foods affect the general public, and are difficult to digest or absorb, such
as: artificial colors, chemicals and flavors added.
