2. Fried Foods
Fried foods, such as french fries, fried chicken, and onion rings, are another significant contributor to chronic inflammation. They are typically high in unhealthy fats, such as trans fats and saturated fats, which can increase inflammation in the body and lead to chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.
When food is fried, it undergoes a chemical reaction that can produce harmful compounds known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs). These compounds can cause inflammation in the body and damage to cells and tissues.
To reduce inflammation in the body, it’s best to avoid fried foods as much as possible. Instead, try baking, grilling, or steaming your food to reduce the amount of unhealthy fats. You can also use healthier cooking oils, such as olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil, to help reduce inflammation in the body. (2)
