or oily fish like salmon and tuna) we can effectively reverse this imbalance. Broiling and pouching rather than frying meat, and eating only lean white meats and fish in place of beef, can greatly help to decrease the risk of inflammation caused by a fat imbalance.

Antioxidants combine with free radicals and render them harmless. Free radicals are those molecules within our body that for one reason or another are incomplete. These free radicals try to become complete by stealing electrons from complete molecules within our system. Unfortunately when they do this they then cause the donating molecule to become unstable, or to in effect become another free radical, it then begins an attempt to in turn make itself once again complete. Antioxidants are stable or complete molecules that no matter whether or not they donate one of their electrons to another molecule will remain stable. They can give an electron to free radicals without damaging themselves so they effectively stop the chain of damage from occurring. By stopping this cell damage we can effectively slow the effects of aging and those inflammatory based illnesses connected with this process.

Diet changes have definitely been proven to alter the degree of chronic inflammation within some forms of inflammatory based illness. If you suspect that a change in your diet may improve your health then it is an arena well worth investigating.
