We know that eating natural foods is good for us, but even today, we find ourselves reaching for sweet, processed foods.

Delivery food is also full of greasy dishes high in saturated fat. Since I order delivery so often, the menu is always similar.

I'm reminded of my grandmother's home-cooked meals. A diet so far removed from nature... Could this be the reason for the increased inflammation, which was rare before?

Increase visceral fat significantly … Foods that cause inflammation ?

Eating too much sweet food is bad for your health.

When too much simple sugar, a type of carbohydrate, enters the body, it significantly increases visceral fat and causes inflammation.

If you don't exercise much, the unused sugar will be converted into fat and stored in your body.

Belly fat also appears. Meats and other foods high in saturated fats are stored in the blood.

It increases triglyceride-cholesterol and causes vascular inflammation.

Eating a lot of refined carbohydrates is not good for preventing vascular disease or obesity.

1) pumpkin = It's in season these days. The methionine component reduces toxins in the body and has an anti-inflammatory effect. It also promotes diuresis, helping reduce swelling. The beta-carotene component slows down aging and contributes to bronchial health, vision maintenance, skin beauty, and constipation prevention.

2) green peppers = Capsaicin, the spicy ingredient, is the key ingredient. It affects blood vessel wall cells and increases prostaglandins, which suppress gastritis. It also prevents oxidation of brain cell membranes, which are prone to the production of harmful free radicals, and helps prevent inflammation in cells.

3) broccoli = While its flavor is a drawback, it contains more vitamin C than lemons, providing antioxidant properties that reduce oxidation (damage and aging) in the body. It also contains a high amount of potassium (307 mg per 100 g), which helps regulate blood pressure and helps excrete salty substances (sodium) from the body. It's a very low-calorie, low-fat food, so even a small amount provides a feeling of fullness, and its antioxidant properties also help prevent cancer.

4) tomato , cherry tomatoes = These are representative foods that are good for preventing inflammation. Lycopene, which gives tomatoes their red color, has powerful antioxidant properties and helps reduce inflammation in the body. Lycopene is especially active when tomatoes and cherry tomatoes are cooked. Citrulline helps alleviate symptoms such as inflammation, swelling, nephritis, cystitis, and urethritis.

5) onion , garlic = Quercetin in onions inhibits the accumulation of fat and cholesterol in blood vessels. It protects cells from damage by harmful free radicals and lipid peroxides, contributing to the prevention of inflammation. Chromium is a trace mineral that maintains homeostasis in glucose (carbohydrate) metabolism. It promotes insulin action, helping regulate blood sugar levels.

Allicin, the source of garlic's spicy flavor, has strong sterilizing and antibacterial properties, reducing food poisoning bacteria and even killing Helicobacter pylori, which causes gastric ulcers and stomach cancer (National Institute of Agricultural Sciences data).

It also has the effect of boosting immunity and lowering cholesterol levels.

It helps prevent and control diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels, and it also helps prevent vascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis by dissolving blood clots.
