Well when you work out, your muscles inflame. The next day they rebuild. So why would you want a diet that would deter that?

Here's a list of the foods that effect inflammation the most.....be ready to be astonished. Apparently sponge cake and frosting is ok but peppers, spinach, chives, onion, herring and fish oil are bad. Fish oil actually reduces omega balance and reduces inflammation, oh well, what do I know.

I had polymyalgia rheumatica....inflamation of muscles and joints and I was reluctant to go on steroids so tried Dr.Weil's anti-inflamatory diet for several months. It may have helped a bit. I finally saw a specialist who put me on predisone. The condition is time limited and is gone now thank goodness.

I am astonished!


To the OP. Lady problems meaning endometriosis or something similar? I am reading up on diets specifically for endo at the moment which is essentially low inflammatory. It is basically gluten free and healthy eating. I don't know much about a specific anti inflammatory diet but I do know that eating less gluten (pasta, baked goods etc) and less processed items have helped a lot with the pain from endometriosis. As well as taking supplements specifically for it such as fish oil, flax seed, magnesium, vitex.

Good luck with your research.

You have completely misinterpreted the scoring, it says

"The IF (Inflammation Factor) Rating™ estimates the inflammatory or anti-inflammatory potential of individual foods or combinations of foods by calculating the net effect of different nutritional factors, such as fatty acids, antioxidants, and glycemic impact.

How to interpret the values: Foods with positive IF Ratings are considered anti-inflammatory, and those with negative IF Ratings are considered inflammatory. The higher the number, the stronger the effect. The goal is to balance negative foods with positive foods so that the combined rating for all foods eaten in a single day is positive."

Gotcha. Thanks, that threw me for a loop and I started to question the world.....lol

From NutritionData

A negative IF Rating™ means that the food is considered to be inflammatory (i.e. increases inflammation), and a positive IF Rating™ indicates that the food is considered to be anti-inflammatory (i.e. reduces inflammation)
