As I mentioned in the bottom of yesterday’s budget fashion post, I am trying out a few new things with my diet. Due to the hip inflammation I’m experiencing, I am focusing on eating anti-inflammatory foods and shying away from those that cause inflammation.
Breakast: banana protein oats with chia seeds
Before I go any further, I must note that anti-inflammation diets are for internal inflammation (like organs), not so much for hips. In addition, this is a bit hokie for me, but I’ll take all the help I can get.
Snack: black coffee and grapefruit
This idea sounds like another reason to avoid that I already try to limit and include things I already enjoy eating.
Lunch: brown rice bowl with onion, asparagus, portabella mushrooms, & herbs
For instance, omit animal products, except fish (yay sushi). Avoid processed foods. Add extra greens, mushrooms, and turmeric (yay curry). I’m not trying to follow this perfectly, but I’m willing to make some changes to see how things work for me.
Snack: horseradish hummus & veg
For more information about inflammation diets, check out Dr. Weil’s anti-inflammatory pyramid or Brittany’s post.
Dinner: mixed bean masala (extra turmeric!)
I hope cocoa powder is anti-inflammatory; I had a few too many of these babies last night for dessert. Recipe coming later this week!
Dessert: sacher balls (recipe coming soon!)
As always, be sure to check out other blogger meals and recipes at Peas and Crayons.
