Quench Inflammation

Oestrogen is a natural anti-inflammatory steroid hormone. Lack of it can cause aches and pains. Put out the fire of inflammation through diet and lifestyle…

• Reduce pro-inflammatory omega-6 foods, like meat, dairy, refined vegetable oils (use olive oil instead) and processed foods.

• Up your omega-3 foods instead, from oily fish and, as a vegan source, from algae. Also linseeds/ flaxseeds, hemp oil and nuts such as walnuts.

• Reduce alcohol, refined sugar and gluten, which all have an inflammatory effect.
