You FEEL what YOU EAT.

For many of us, we will deal with aches and pains, injuries and conditions that interfere with our daily movement, exercise and even our mental stamina. Some of us exist in but a glimpse of the" in between " excruciating days, months and even years and try to relentlessly push through the pain fog day after day without even knowing there are some health guerrillas right in our food storage keeping pace with the sabotage.
Some obvious and not so obvious bullies in our kitchen can actually be 'causing' painful conditions to run the gamut... and dare I say even some in our supplement line up!

To some these obvious triggers that can set off explosive reactions,sensitivities and inflammatory responses of many kinds that attack our immune system are WHEAT, GLUTEN, DAIRY, WHEY, SOY and SUGAR. 
To others, they are not so obvious. The sensitivity can be layered under many other culprits...hiding in the lurks quite happy to go denied or undetected. All of these meanies are in processed food. Some  are even in fruits and veggies and yes... even in the healthy whole grain bread you loved in the morning.
Sensitivities can show up as fatigue,pain and inflammation,gas,bloating confusion,dehydration to mention just a few conditions.. INCLUDING WEIGHT GAIN.All taking their bite of out your internal health, GI tract and depriving your cellular health.
Be aware that consider 90 % of illness happens in our digestive track...and even higher percentage is stemming from the start of digestion: our mouth.
That means our unaware consumptions of the tiniest amount of offenders go quietly or undetected until they hit the small intestine then all **** gets sorted out...or not.

For someone with an inflammatory immune response,the inflammation and the destruction it brings starts in the inside of the battle ground, and the swelling, like waves presents around the body.If you are swelling in a joint, your intestines are also inflamed. If you have skin  lesions or eczema etc... this too, is an indicator your consumption and absorption is hurting you on the inside.
 The deeper the layer, the harder to detect, but once detected, rescue and  recovery sets itself up just as fast for a brilliant result.

Once we are aware of our bodies defense patterns, many reactions can be sidestepped by avoiding the offending party and substituting with natural option. We  have to become part detective, part scientist and part genius within our own skin.

So, the next time you are is struggling with the onset of pain, inflammation, or worried about the creeping weight gain taking over, take a peek at your diet the hours and days before. Start to eliminate white from your diet to start. White anything. You may notice a HUGE difference when you hit the gym.

For arthritis, an inflammatory condition, is of course, the Paleo Diet. ( see below)

My life depends my nourishment, Literally.When I cheat- I cheat with understanding and knowledge... and preparation for the hit...cheat with the least of the heavy hitters. I do enjoy kettle chips now and then,  and yes... I pick my battles carefully... every know and then. : ) 
Be well. Live well and Love yourself well.
Everyday. All the time. On time. And you will heal a little more each day.
