Do You Like These Anti Inflamitory Foods?

ECBG — Wed, 05 Apr 2017 14:35:01 GMT

I have a salad almost every day and would eat salmon twice a week, every week, but that's too much for DH. I'm good on this list except for the dried beans which a lot of people love, but I never have.

All looks good to me too.

Lots of ways to sneak in a little salmon more often.

My late mom made great salmon patties, similar to a crab cake, but salmon instead of crab. I've never developed a taste for salmon but I did love her salmon patties.

Yes to everything except Broccoli, Swiss Chard & Kale, and the dried beans. Love salmon, and I think my salmon is better than most restaurant salmons, which is saying a lot considering my cooking skills.

@software,Thanks, I've tried everything. He will eat something twice, in a week, but that's his limit. I taught Foods and Advanced Foods and can't hide anything from my "bloodhound"!!!LOL!

I don't like kale, and I'm not big on salmon. I do like everything else and will eat salmon on occasion. I love fish, but just am not a fan of salmon.

@ECBG I also eat salad almost every day for dinner. Even when I don't, I still eat carrots every day at lunch time, so I'm covered in the carrot department. I also include dark red kidney beans in my salads. I love salmon, but often I have tuna instead of that (in my salad). About the only thing I rarely eat from that list is the avocado......not that I don't like it.....it just doesn't cross my path very often!

I've started looking at avocados like I do bananas. So many times avocados are used in a savory, not sweet recipe, but it's an OK substitute for a banana. They ripen similar to a banana, the texture is about the same. Taste is a bit different.

There are ways to "sneak" it into other recipes, like small chunks in potato salad or almost any salad. Mashed in with your egg salad. They are cheap and available and not too hard to peel & pit.

You can also substitute avocado in cake or quick bread recipes. I just wish I could get the California avocados. All the fruit around here is from Mexico.

Yes to everything but the salmon (I don't eat fish), and the kale. I've never been successful cooking kale, so I have given up cooking it myself.

I was happy to see that all of these are the things we have in the house all the time and eat weekly at least. Well, except avocado. Not so much weekly there--but that's something to think about. Thanks for posting this!

If you are trying to eat more fish and chicken, a sous vide is an ideal way to cook them. They are cooked in water in a plastic bag or shrinkwrapped, at perfect eating temp. and there no is cleanup mess or smell in the house--and you can leave it at temp. for quite awhile if your meal is delayed!

We have many of these foods here too. A few of these during the growing season we grow - kale, rainbow chard and we've grown broccoli too. While we don't use dried beans very often we do eat a lot of beans and many kinds in many ways. LOVE salmon, eat it at least once a week but we mix in a lot of other fishes too. We love fish. I eat more nuts than DH, love pepitas too, sunflower seeds, pine nuts, walnuts, almonds. It's best to eat nuts unsalted too. We always have avocados, use these many ways too. Our Aldi's carries sweet potatoes all the time so it's easy to have these around.

I do!

Well, actually, I'm probably one of few who has never tried kale. As for oranges, I am not really that into them but I do love winter citrus and always partake moderately because I have to watch the acid.

I eat almonds every day.

Blueberries are my least favorite berry but I'd eat them.

I love salmon, as long as it's good quality salmon, such as Alaskan King salmon. Avocados - love for sure, but I stick with California Haas.

I love all of those foods - and I eat them a lot.

I also consume bone broth. I noticed I started having achiness in my joints last year. That's when I started to consume bone broth and also Dr. Axe's Collegen. Talk about a huge difference. I'm also now getting better sleep. I think it's from taking the collegen. It's supposed to help with insomnia. I used to sleep 4-5 hours a night. Now I sleep 7-7.5 hours. Woo hoo

I like pretty much all of them. Am mad for salads, blueberries, avocado and almonds. Not fond of kale in salad, but I like it when it's made crispy in the oven like a version of potato chips...

Eating anti-inflammatory foods is a great idea, since inflammation is linked to so many conditions and illnesses. But to get the most out of them, it's a good idea to cut out the foods that are causing inflammation in the first place.

According to the Arthritis Foundation, these include:

- sugar, including fructose and sucrose

- saturated fats, and the list cited pizza and cheese as the biggest sources in the American diet

- trans fats

- omega 6 fatty acids, in excess

- refined carbs

- MSG

- gluten and casein

i like and eat everything on the list except for salmon. i dont think i have ever had swiss chard.

Re: Do You Like These Anti Inflamitory Foods?

RedTop — Wed, 05 Apr 2017 18:17:46 GMT

Most of them NO.

I'm okay with almonds, olive oil, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and most any color of a dried bean. I love products made with strawberries and blueberries, but do not like the raw fruits. I am allergic to citrus, and avoid oranges.

You couldn't pay me to eat an avocado, kale, or salmon.

Everything but kale is good. well, except maybe salmon. Occasional salmon is good once a week or so. Wild caught is really tastier than "farmed". Is canned salmon okay? I sheepishly ask as I like that the best even though I should want the wild caught.

Most, but not all, of the items on the list are on my forbidden list due to kidney disease. Love blueberries - any berry - and the only way I will eat salmon is in salmon patties. Just about can't stand it. Other fish - no problem.
