Hey there, sunshine.
00:00:01.465 --> 00:00:11.493
Today, jared and I are sharing something very personal with you, because we spent so many years battling chronic inflammation and the truth is we just didn't have to.
00:00:11.493 --> 00:00:18.867
So on this episode, we're going to share some simple ways that you can battle chronic inflammation with food and win.
00:00:18.867 --> 00:00:23.106
Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.
00:00:23.106 --> 00:00:28.394
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?
00:00:28.394 --> 00:00:33.792
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?
00:00:33.792 --> 00:00:40.073
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?
00:00:40.539 --> 00:00:47.731
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, health care professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.
00:00:47.731 --> 00:00:59.944
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers the traditional route.
00:00:59.944 --> 00:01:07.194
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.
00:01:07.194 --> 00:01:10.971
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.
00:01:10.971 --> 00:01:12.543
You just need the way.
00:01:12.543 --> 00:01:24.373
That's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived If you're ready to enjoy your meals no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.
00:01:24.373 --> 00:01:29.668
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.
00:01:30.850 --> 00:01:31.552
Hey there, sunshine.
00:01:31.572 --> 00:01:45.185
We are so happy to have you with us today because we are talking about something that Jared and I fought and struggled and dealt with for a large portion of our lives, and that is inflammation and its side effects.
00:01:45.908 --> 00:02:03.209
And do you know that inflammation is behind many of the chronic diseases and many of the symptoms you deal with on a daily basis, much of which we thought and were trained to believe were just age-related or related to our genes or somehow normal?
00:02:03.209 --> 00:02:18.490
It's normalized to hurt and ache as you get older, or have higher blood pressure or just not feel good, so much so that some of the pain and things we didn't even realize we were having because it was so normal, we just functioned with it.
00:02:18.490 --> 00:02:35.949
We learned how to function and kind of get around and live life if you can call it living life with these things on a regular basis the pain, the brain fog, the slow movements to try to not tweak something, all these different things that we were dealing with and doing on a regular basis.
00:02:35.949 --> 00:02:39.420
That just didn't have to be, but no one told us.
00:02:39.420 --> 00:02:40.383
We didn't know.
00:02:40.383 --> 00:02:46.004
But when you finish this episode, you're going to have hope and know that this does not have to be your reality.
00:02:46.485 --> 00:02:48.669
Now, as far as being normal, is it normal?
00:02:48.669 --> 00:02:53.028
Well, it is, if you do what everybody else around you in our society is doing.
00:02:53.169 --> 00:02:53.852
Oh, good point.
00:02:54.152 --> 00:02:57.281
Because it is normal when you're just in that same habit.
00:02:57.281 --> 00:02:59.144
But, like you said, does it have to be?
00:02:59.144 --> 00:03:00.625
Should it be our norm?
00:03:00.625 --> 00:03:03.329
Was that the way we were designed and created to be?
00:03:03.329 --> 00:03:04.370
And I would say no.
00:03:04.370 --> 00:03:07.133
Now you may be asking okay, inflammation, I know the word.
00:03:07.133 --> 00:03:09.034
How do I know if I have it?
00:03:09.034 --> 00:03:10.300
Do you have pain?
00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:11.524
Do you have swelling?
00:03:11.524 --> 00:03:12.967
Do you have stiffness?
00:03:12.967 --> 00:03:14.730
Are you walking slower?
00:03:14.730 --> 00:03:16.052
You mentioned brain fog.
00:03:16.052 --> 00:03:20.549
All of these things are side effects of an inflammatory process going on.
00:03:20.549 --> 00:03:22.520
Now, which one is it?
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.186
Well, it depends on where the inflammation is.
00:03:24.186 --> 00:03:26.543
If it's in your brain, you may have brain fog.
00:03:26.543 --> 00:03:30.693
If it's in your knee, you may have pain and swelling in your knee.
00:03:30.693 --> 00:03:33.548
It really just depends on where it's going on in the body.
00:03:33.788 --> 00:03:48.650
And the interesting thing is, I remember when we first started in plant-based and you really didn't have as many health complaints overall as I did, although we were both largely overweight and didn't even really recognize it, but we were way overweight.
00:03:48.830 --> 00:03:53.207
The pictures lie, the pictures we have from that time they lie Seriously.
00:03:53.429 --> 00:04:02.521
If you are subscribed to our email and you missed the one that I sent out not too long ago it's been within the past couple of months of our before and after picture you have to go back and see it.
00:04:02.521 --> 00:04:17.177
I hate to even say that because I don't want anybody to really see the picture, but I want you to understand what is possible when you get the wrong feeds out of your life and get the right ones in, and you learn how to do that in a way that's going to work for you, because we didn't even realize we had some of these issues.
00:04:17.177 --> 00:04:27.033
Which brings me back to the point of remembering how we started Whole Food Plant Based and then, just a couple of weeks, it was down the road.
00:04:27.033 --> 00:04:31.766
You got up, you were popping out of bed faster than ever and you were making a comment to me.
00:04:31.766 --> 00:04:37.367
I remember you were walking around getting ready to go to work and you were talking about how I'm not aching anymore my shoulders.
00:04:37.387 --> 00:04:38.290
You're moving your joints around.
00:04:38.290 --> 00:04:39.273
My shoulders weren't hurting.
00:04:39.273 --> 00:04:48.093
I was getting ready to go to work and it just kind of hit me like wait a minute, my shoulders aren't aching because I had reached for something that normally would have tweaked my shoulder.
00:04:48.093 --> 00:04:53.523
Now would it have been debilitating?
00:04:53.523 --> 00:04:57.160
No, but it was uncomfortable and it was somewhat limiting because I realized if I move in this way, then it is going to cause pain and discomfort.
00:04:57.620 --> 00:05:05.334
Yeah, when you have to map your life and your movements around how your body feels and it becomes so normal to you that you don't even think about it.
00:05:05.334 --> 00:05:06.464
It's just what you do.
00:05:06.660 --> 00:05:08.084
It's just your programmed routine.
00:05:08.386 --> 00:05:09.329
It's terrible.
00:05:09.329 --> 00:05:12.805
Why are we thinking that we have to live this way and this is normal?
00:05:12.805 --> 00:05:14.466
This is not normal.
00:05:14.466 --> 00:05:20.829
You do not have to go through that, and so what we wanna share with you today is what you can do to start changing this in your life.
00:05:20.829 --> 00:05:32.267
Some things you can get rid of, the most important thing, and then the thing you can add back in its place.
00:05:32.267 --> 00:05:32.348
Why?
00:05:32.348 --> 00:05:34.817
Because what we want you to understand is that what you are not eating is just as important as what you're eating.
00:05:34.836 --> 00:05:38.567
I want to say that again, yes, what you're not eating is just as important as what you're eating.
00:05:38.567 --> 00:05:48.072
See, many times we go through life and we think, oh, I've got to start eating more fruits and vegetables and I've got to start doing this, and I've got to start doing that, instead of what we need to stop.
00:05:48.072 --> 00:05:52.999
And maybe you have dieted a lot of your life and so you think I've got to quit eating this, I've got to quit eating that.
00:05:52.999 --> 00:06:14.567
Maybe you do the opposite, but I want you to understand, no matter which side of the spectrum you fall on, it's very important that you look at both of these things both of them but I want you to look at it in the way that's going to bring you freedom in life and joy and enjoyment and excitement to live your lifestyle in a way that's sustainable because you enjoy it so much.
00:06:14.567 --> 00:06:16.906
And now you're getting all these results.
00:06:16.947 --> 00:06:26.672
Like Jared and I did, we got freed from the extra pounds and the pain that we dealt with on a daily basis that was keeping me from being able to walk up one flight of stairs to tuck my kids into bed at night.
00:06:26.672 --> 00:06:39.149
That had me in tears, crying when I was washing my hair, because my fingers and my elbows and my shoulders hurt so badly when I was trying to just wash my hair and I was sitting there thinking you know, this is ridiculous.
00:06:39.149 --> 00:06:42.464
There are people that are washing their hair right now and don't even think about it at all.
00:06:42.464 --> 00:06:48.154
Isn't it interesting how we take for granted those things that we can easily do until we can no longer do them?
00:06:48.940 --> 00:06:50.786
Yeah, we don't even think about it Washing hair.
00:06:50.786 --> 00:06:55.589
You just think I've got to go take a shower, wash hair, wash my body and then dry off and be done.
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.163
Right, I want to develop more thankfulness.
00:06:58.163 --> 00:06:59.766
That's something I'm focusing on this year.
00:06:59.766 --> 00:07:04.992
We all need to be more thankful for the things that we can do in this life and the blessings that we have.
00:07:04.992 --> 00:07:20.240
One of the things that we can do is we can fight inflammation, and it can be done naturally with foods that taste great and that work with our lifestyle, and so what you're not eating is just as important as what you're eating, but I don't want you to think you're going to feel deprived.
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.286
Oh well, that means I can't have this food anymore, that food anymore.
00:07:23.286 --> 00:07:26.994
See some of the foods we're going to mention today that you need to stop eating.
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:35.694
It's very important for you to understand that there are things that you can put in the place of those foods that you're going to love just as much or even more.
00:07:35.694 --> 00:07:45.334
This is what makes what Jared and I teach very different than what a lot of other people teach when it comes to getting healthy, because we're going to show you how to make it sustainable.
00:07:45.334 --> 00:07:55.872
The only way it's going to last for you is when you find the way that you actually enjoy, because it works with your busy schedule, it's simple and it actually tastes amazing to you.
00:07:55.872 --> 00:07:59.346
Then you don't miss those things, right, it's replacement.
00:07:59.346 --> 00:08:02.785
We call it replacement foodology, that's kind of our term for it.
00:08:02.785 --> 00:08:09.961
But you replace it and you get this plant based joy and all of a sudden you're living in a way that you love and you don't miss the old things.
00:08:09.961 --> 00:08:13.730
So that's how you go out with the old and in with the new.
00:08:13.730 --> 00:08:14.713
You've got to do both.
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:16.466
And you never leave a hole or a vacuum.
00:08:16.939 --> 00:08:19.860
Never leave an empty hole.
00:08:20.161 --> 00:08:25.492
So if you have to get rid of a food, you're going to fill it with something.
00:08:25.492 --> 00:08:27.627
You just want to make sure it's a good something.
00:08:28.028 --> 00:08:28.168
Right.
00:08:28.168 --> 00:08:36.028
Either you're going to fill it with something else that's not healthy, or you're going to go nuts on that thing because you haven't been able to eat it.
00:08:36.028 --> 00:08:37.767
Quote haven't been able to eat it.
00:08:37.767 --> 00:08:48.975
You've told yourself that, or somebody else has told you you can't have, you can't do, and so, because you've told yourself these things and you have this way of talking and speaking and thinking, now you're going to go nuts on the thing.
00:08:48.975 --> 00:08:51.796
So we don't want you to set yourself up for that.
00:08:51.796 --> 00:08:53.356
You don't have to do that.
00:08:53.356 --> 00:08:54.317
It doesn't have to be that way.
00:08:54.658 --> 00:09:04.072
So we're going to take one thing out and put one thing back in its place, and these are the kinds of things I'm going to be showing you exactly how to do, step by step, in our upcoming course.
00:09:04.072 --> 00:09:13.804
But today, what we want you to wrap your mind around and walk away with is the fact that the foods that you eat are just as important as the foods that you don't eat.
00:09:13.804 --> 00:09:20.708
So we're going to share the main food component that we know, based on research, is causing the inflammation.
00:09:20.708 --> 00:09:21.471
Are there others?
00:09:21.652 --> 00:09:23.363
Yes, we're going to sprinkle some of those in there.
00:09:23.864 --> 00:09:29.764
But there's one big thing that you need to get out of your life, and then you need to replace it with the right thing.
00:09:29.764 --> 00:09:34.000
The one thing that we know, based on research, fights inflammation.
00:09:34.301 --> 00:09:37.910
So if you want a needle mover, this is one big needle mover for you.
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:38.740
This is it.
00:09:38.740 --> 00:09:40.224
So what's the top number one?
00:09:40.224 --> 00:09:46.212
Inflammation causing food component Saturated fats, saturated fats, one inflammation causing food component saturated saturated fats.
00:09:46.232 --> 00:09:47.400
Saturated fat now where do you find that?
00:09:47.400 --> 00:09:51.254
Where is it filling the food industry?
00:09:51.254 --> 00:09:54.095
It is in the animal products.
00:09:54.095 --> 00:09:56.823
That is a meat, dairy and eggs.
00:09:56.823 --> 00:10:02.047
Now, you might be tempted at this point to shut it off because you don't want to hear it, because those are your favorite foods.
00:10:02.047 --> 00:10:02.508
I get it.
00:10:02.508 --> 00:10:04.221
I grew up in a barbecue restaurant.
00:10:04.221 --> 00:10:06.844
I used to be affectionately known as the Dairy Queen.
00:10:06.844 --> 00:10:10.785
Now I'm the former Dairy Queen because I really didn't think I could live without my cheese.
00:10:10.785 --> 00:10:12.356
Maybe for you it's meat.
00:10:12.356 --> 00:10:13.138
It's like you know.
00:10:13.138 --> 00:10:15.660
I can do without cheese all day long, but meat, oh man.
00:10:15.660 --> 00:10:16.942
I love meat or eggs.
00:10:16.942 --> 00:10:20.948
I just love great scrambled eggs, smothered and covered, right.
00:10:20.969 --> 00:10:22.211
Yeah, we loved all that stuff.
00:10:23.735 --> 00:10:23.855
We did?
00:10:23.875 --> 00:10:24.155
We ate it all.
00:10:24.155 --> 00:10:33.960
But I think if we have a mindset shift here, because I had just the thought of an analogy it's not a car analogy but we're loving these foods that don't love us back, right.
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:44.572
But if we look at this as really being a harmful relationship because you love that food, you love that thing, and maybe to you it tastes good, but it's really giving nothing back to you.
00:10:45.115 --> 00:10:46.280
Well, it's giving something back.
00:10:46.514 --> 00:10:47.667
Well, nothing good.
00:10:47.706 --> 00:10:48.333
Nothing good.
00:10:48.796 --> 00:10:50.341
Can you get some protein from it?
00:10:50.341 --> 00:10:52.480
Yes, but is it the best source?
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.297
No, emphatically no.
00:10:54.538 --> 00:10:58.336
And then it's giving all the other harmful things like the saturated fats.
00:10:58.658 --> 00:11:02.767
Which then is a huge, huge contributing factor to inflammation.
00:11:03.047 --> 00:11:03.307
Yes.
00:11:03.307 --> 00:11:11.403
So this leads me to the point of why were Jared and I so sick when we were, quote eating healthy according to the world's standards?
00:11:11.403 --> 00:11:14.095
Okay, we were eating healthy according to the world's standards.
00:11:14.095 --> 00:11:14.956
What do I mean by that?
00:11:14.956 --> 00:11:20.067
Well, we were eating free range, cage, free grass, fed meat.
00:11:20.326 --> 00:11:21.349
No hormone added.
00:11:21.475 --> 00:11:23.193
No hormone added dairy.
00:11:23.193 --> 00:11:39.409
We were eating all of these foods that people told us were the healthy way to go, but do you know that those same cage free, hormone, free-range, grass-fed meats are still meats?
00:11:39.409 --> 00:11:42.563
And guess what they still all are replete with?
00:11:42.563 --> 00:11:46.144
That means abundant in saturated fat.
00:11:46.514 --> 00:11:48.643
Saturated fat, hormones and many other things.
00:11:48.975 --> 00:11:52.625
Which is the number one food component that causes inflammation.
00:11:52.625 --> 00:11:57.836
So, yes, there are some benefits to eating cage-free and free-range and all this.
00:11:57.836 --> 00:12:02.057
I'm not going to tell you that there are some diseases that those things don't carry as much.
00:12:02.057 --> 00:12:04.602
So you are headed in a better direction doing that.
00:12:04.602 --> 00:12:08.562
But better can be better and still not be great for you.
00:12:08.623 --> 00:12:09.525
It's relative.
00:12:09.546 --> 00:12:16.504
Right, it's relative, and so what you're comparing something to is going to give you the perspective that you have.
00:12:16.504 --> 00:12:19.337
So let's just talk about it in reality.
00:12:19.337 --> 00:12:28.346
Here You're still getting the saturated fats, and that is the number one pro-inflammatory food ingredient, according to research.
00:12:28.346 --> 00:12:31.278
So you eat these healthy foods like Jaron and I were doing.
00:12:31.278 --> 00:12:31.883
Quote healthy.
00:12:31.903 --> 00:12:34.355
Quote unquote healthy, yeah, I'm giving your air quotes here.
00:12:34.395 --> 00:12:36.883
You can't see that, but quote healthy foods.
00:12:36.883 --> 00:12:45.509
We're eating free range and all these things and we still keep finding ourselves exhausted and hurting and unsure why.
00:12:45.769 --> 00:12:47.214
And you know how we know they were healthy?
00:12:47.214 --> 00:13:01.341
Just kind of a side note, it's because a package told us they were healthy, the package told us yes, ooh, this is healthy or healthier, nevermind, there's no real regulation on what is healthy, but the package told us it was healthy, so it's like it must be good.
00:13:01.575 --> 00:13:04.524
Yeah, start noticing the brainwashing on the packages.
00:13:04.524 --> 00:13:05.980
It's there for a reason.
00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:07.259
It's there to sell you a product.
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:08.342
To make you buy their product.
00:13:08.383 --> 00:13:10.442
yes, Make you feel better about what you're doing.
00:13:10.442 --> 00:13:12.298
But you know what we did.
00:13:12.298 --> 00:13:22.316
We stopped getting those things into our lives that had the saturated fat in them, those better saturated fat foods.
00:13:22.316 --> 00:13:23.840
There's no better saturated fats Well, not in the meat world anyway.
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:24.400
We'll talk about that later.
00:13:24.400 --> 00:13:29.519
But what I want you to understand is saturated fats in meats are harmful to you.
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:33.126
They are pro-inflammatory In dairy same thing.
00:13:33.126 --> 00:13:35.236
In eggs same story.
00:13:35.236 --> 00:13:44.206
So we drop those things and we start replacing it with whole plant foods, and I'm not just talking about some plain plants in a bowl.
00:13:44.206 --> 00:13:46.644
You can't start your plant-based walk that way.
00:13:46.644 --> 00:13:50.264
Trust me, down the road you'll find some joy in that, believe it or not.
00:13:50.264 --> 00:13:56.908
It's hard to believe where you are right now, but I'm telling you you're going to taste things in these foods down the road that you did not taste before.
00:13:56.908 --> 00:14:00.144
I've shared this before, but I didn't know broccoli was sweet.
00:14:00.144 --> 00:14:02.442
Have you ever tasted sweetness in broccoli?
00:14:02.442 --> 00:14:08.514
There's so many different things I taste in foods now that I wasn't able to perceive were there before.
00:14:08.775 --> 00:14:10.923
And that's just the sweetness aspect of it, though.
00:14:10.923 --> 00:14:12.217
But the flavors?
00:14:12.217 --> 00:14:23.865
There's just a lot of flavors in the different foods, thinking of zucchini and squash, eating those raw, because growing up we had it cooked, steamed, fried.
00:14:23.865 --> 00:14:31.380
But just eating them raw, dicing them up and putting them on a salad, has a nice crunch and a lot of flavor to it as well, and there's just a couple of examples.
00:14:31.782 --> 00:14:37.243
Right, and so now we've taken out the saturated fats and we're replacing it with whole plant foods.
00:14:37.243 --> 00:14:44.424
We're getting some amazing things in there, which we're going to talk about in a second, and so we don't find ourselves getting sleepy after meals.
00:14:44.424 --> 00:14:45.417
That is not normal.
00:14:45.417 --> 00:14:53.116
If you find yourself getting sleepy and crashing midday after you eat, that's not normal and you can't figure out why.
00:14:53.116 --> 00:14:57.587
Because you're eating the healthy meats and you're eating the healthy dairy and you're eating the healthy eggs.
00:14:57.936 --> 00:15:01.346
Or maybe you see nothing wrong with it because that's just how it's always been.
00:15:01.346 --> 00:15:04.182
But, like you said, it's not normal.
00:15:04.202 --> 00:15:05.086
Yeah, like your shoulder pain.
00:15:05.086 --> 00:15:06.259
You didn't recognize it right.
00:15:06.259 --> 00:15:08.643
You didn't recognize really that you had shoulder pain.
00:15:08.643 --> 00:15:09.740
You just kind of dealt with it.
00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:18.277
You didn't really think about it on a regular basis until it was gone and you were free basis until it was gone and you were free.
00:15:18.277 --> 00:15:20.022
It's the same thing with the sleepiness we don't get sleepy anymore.
00:15:20.022 --> 00:15:21.083
We don't have the brain fog after meals anymore.
00:15:21.083 --> 00:15:22.027
We're living life.
00:15:22.027 --> 00:15:30.621
We have the energy, like a lot of our members do, where now they're planning businesses that they wanted to start for so long but they just didn't feel like it.
00:15:30.621 --> 00:15:32.447
They didn't know how they would do this thing.
00:15:32.554 --> 00:15:33.756
There's so many different things.
00:15:33.756 --> 00:15:35.078
I'm out traveling.
00:15:35.078 --> 00:15:36.421
I'm out riding my bike.
00:15:36.421 --> 00:15:41.995
I'm out exploring nature and seeing things in creation that I would never been able to see before.
00:15:41.995 --> 00:15:45.645
I had to ride in my car and see it from the window with my spouse driving me around.
00:15:45.645 --> 00:15:50.447
Well, now I'm out walking all the paths and seeing all the things that I would have missed along the way.
00:15:50.447 --> 00:15:56.827
Within just four hours of eating one meal with these saturated fats, your blood vessels start getting inflamed.
00:15:56.827 --> 00:16:00.808
You lose elasticity of those vessels just after one meal.
00:16:00.808 --> 00:16:03.818
I'm not going to talk about everything else that's happening in your body.
00:16:03.818 --> 00:16:04.461
That's negative.
00:16:04.461 --> 00:16:07.759
As a result of this, I just want you to think about blood flow for a minute.
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:09.706
Where does blood go in your body?
00:16:09.706 --> 00:16:10.932
It goes everywhere.
00:16:10.932 --> 00:16:13.960
This is going to affect everything in your body.
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:21.485
And those effects actually start sooner than four hours, but they reach their worst at the four hour mark after you eat that meal.
00:16:21.485 --> 00:16:27.225
Then your body starts to clear it out and it gets better over the next few hours, but then what typically happens?
00:16:27.225 --> 00:16:28.375
Again Boom.
00:16:28.375 --> 00:16:29.960
Next fatty meal Right.
00:16:30.201 --> 00:16:31.323
And that's what I was going to say.
00:16:31.323 --> 00:16:32.667
Just like what we did.
00:16:32.667 --> 00:16:41.546
We weren't eating just one quote healthy meat, dairy and egg meal a day, and we weren't just eating it one day a week, we were eating it day after day after day.
00:16:41.546 --> 00:16:44.480
So our body remained chronically inflamed.
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:56.081
The ingredients kept coming in over and over again, these pro-inflammatory ingredients that were keeping us stuck, keeping us sick, and we didn't understand why, because, according to the world's ways, this was healthy.
00:16:56.422 --> 00:17:00.328
We were choosing the healthy meats, the healthy dairy, and these ingredients weren't sneaking in.
00:17:00.328 --> 00:17:02.240
We had the front door unlocked and open.
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:06.005
It was like come on in, because again, we thought they were friendly, we thought they were healthy.
00:17:06.005 --> 00:17:17.596
So we were actively participating in getting these ingredients, getting this food component into our bodies, just ignorant to the fact that we were doing probably one of the worst things that we could do.
00:17:18.217 --> 00:17:26.719
And now let's talk about the top, the primo, the number one ingredient that's found in whole plant foods.
00:17:26.719 --> 00:17:29.104
That is anti-inflammatory.
00:17:29.104 --> 00:17:31.449
It actually fights inflammation.
00:17:31.449 --> 00:17:34.729
There's many things in plant foods that fight inflammation.
00:17:34.729 --> 00:17:39.486
We're going to mention some other ones, but you need to understand the number one ingredient.
