Is this YOU? You’ve reduced your calorie intake and you’re working out at the gym on a regular basis. So why is it that you still can’t get rid of that spare tire hanging around your tummy? Your body might be fighting against your weight loss efforts.
The culprit? Chronic, low-grade inflammation.
Research shows that a significant contributor to chronic inflammation comes from what we eat. When you eat inflammatory foods on a daily basis, you’re constantly turning on your body’s alarm system. Because your immune system alarm is never disarmed, over time, this incessant inflammatory response can lead to weight gain, drowsiness, skin problems, digestive issues, and a host of diseases, from diabetes to obesity to cancer.
