They recommend the following steps:
- Add anti-inflammatory foods to your diet. They suggest Coconut Oil, AFA or Spirulina, Mushrooms and Hemp Seeds. These are just a few among many. If you begin by simply adding more fresh whole foods (basically, foods without a lot of packaging and ingredients - vegetables and fruits, for example) you'll be off to a great start.
- Hydrate - drink plenty of water. And teas, especially green and herbal, are a great addition as well!
- If you smoke - stop (of course, you already knew that - didn't you?)
- Exercise regularly (and you knew this too!). The key is to find activity you enjoy and want to do - then you'll be more inclined to find a way to make it happen. Even a 5-minute walk several times a day can do wonders.
