Intermittent fasting (IF) is an eating schedule with a time restricted eating window, followed by a fast ranging from 12 to 24 hours.

There are different types of IF ranging from mild to extreme. Which type of IF will work best for you is dependent on many factors. Consult with your doctor or dietitian before making major changes to your diet.

Inflammation is a vital part of the immune system's response to injury and infection. It is the body's way of signaling the immune system to heal and repair damaged tissue, as well as defend itself against viruses and bacteria. However, chronic inflammation is linked to certain diseases such as heart disease and arthritis.

🍓Nutrients important for fighting chronic inflammation🍓

🐟Adequate intake of Omega 3🐟
Omega 3 has a potent anti-inflammatory effect. By lowering inflammation in the brain, it can assist in the release of serotonin.
Sources: 80g portions 3 times per week of Salmon, Herring, Sardines, pilchards, Mackerel, Trout

🍠Curcumin🍠
Turmeric contains the active ingredient curcumin – a potent chemical component in fighting inflammation. Aim to include turmeric foods daily: add to smoothies, salad dressings, sauces, eggs, etc.

🍳Choline🍳
Choline improves activation of vagal anti-inflammatory system and suppress inflammatory processes, assisting in reducing excessive inflammation.
Sources: Egg yolk, liver, meat, fish, lentils, broccoli

At first low grade inflammation doesn't have many signs or symptoms, but in the long run it can be a contributing factor in the development of multiple diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis, cancer and dementia.

Following an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle can have a major preventative action when it comes to the development of these conditions.

Do I need to avoid cruciferous vegetables?

Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, bok choi, Chinese cabbage, brussels sprouts) are sources rich in nutrients. This food group is one of the most nutritious with many health benefits, including supporting detoxification, lowering inflammation and preventing oxidative stress.
They also contain progoitrins. These progoitrins convert to goitrins when broken down by an enzyme, myrosinase. Goitrins can interfere with normal thyroid function by preventing the
incorporation of iodine into the hormones the thyroid gland produces.
However, myrosinase is destroyed when exposed to heat and therefor, cooked cruciferous vegetables will not have an impact on thyroid function, while consuming large amounts of raw kale juice might.

Your thyroid produces thyroid hormone, which controls many activities in your body, including how fast you cells use energy and how fast your heart beats. Diseases of the thyroid cause it to make either too much or too little of the hormone. Depending on how much or how little hormone your thyroid makes, you may often feel restless or tired, or you may lose or gain weight.
