Did you know nearly all degenerative diseases have the same biochemical origin? Really. Current medical theory attributes disease to a pro-inflammatory state that’s triggered by diet.

But inflammation also affects how you move your body.

For athletes, it can be the difference between winning and losing. For fitness enthusiasts, it can be the difference between loving your training and dreading it.

If you work out regularly and have persistent injuries — or aches and pains that don’t go away with rest — it’s possible you could benefit from taking a look at what you eat before, during and after your workouts.

Over the next several weeks, I’ll be exploring various aspects of inflammation:

• How do foods trigger inflammation in general?

• How does inflammation affect training and athletic performance?

• What can you do — with food! — to reverse your symptoms now?

• And more!

A good starting point is this article on sugar and inflammation. It introduces a few key topics on the subject of inflammation, health, and workouts.
