Anti-inflammatory diet: It’s for everyone!

I changed to this diet in March ,although I've used ginger turmeric and green tea for yrs ,I had a very bad flare up in March I couldn't get out of bed or hold my arms up for over 10 days. My knees were huge and my hips were sore my wrist ached so much and I couldn't brush my hair my scalp was so sore , so I changed my diet cut red meat ,cut down on my dairy (cheese )being my staple and started making my own teas ginger turmmeric lemon manuka , eating fish chicken and fresh veg spinach kale cauliflower and sprouts lots of garlic and onion and barley , I am now 7 months later so much better ,my knee pain is minimal in just one knee my overall pain is none really haven't taken pain meds for 5 months my hair is better my mood is better my skin is better I do have a day off occasionally if I go to a function and there's cake or a suckling pig but overall for me this has worked 💯

I wouldn't say I follow the diet I didn't know there was one! These are the foods I enjoy eating. I love my fruit, veg & nuts. Regularly having yoghurt fruit, nuts and seeds with my breakfast every morning. Never really done the turmeric and ginger thing, don't really believe it does anything. I do need to up my intake of fish though.

I inadvertently follow the diet and I hadn't realised! I use all of the things mentioned in the article and have done for a long time now, but they don't make a jot of difference to the inflammation in my joints and spine and ginger (as much as I love it) gives me diarrhoea!

I had really excruciating pain in my rib cage, front and back, up into my left shoulder even going into my left hip. This was a result of my dystonia and all its twisting which had caused the inflammation. I spent hours each night using every massage technique known to man! heat pack, cold pack, stretches, accupuncture, anything to release the muscles and ease the pain. My ribs often felt like they were on fire! I was worried as I had read that inflammation could lead to diseases and I was struggling enough with what I already had. So I got researching. I found out that there is something in red meat (Platelets I think, can't recall) that affects our own body and if we don't consume it, there will not be a build up which leads to inflammation. So I went pescatarian! (and later introduced chicken).. It was astounding, within weeks all my pain had gone! and thats the only change I made. Cutting out ALL red meat. I even found my muscle contractions and aches were easier to deal with. I have after several years reintroduced the odd bit of red meat here and there (you've gotta love a bbq!!) and my body has been able to tolerate it. Although there are so many good plant burgers these days, which I enjoy just as much.

Would love to know how people use ginger and turmeric. I can use ginger in stirfry cooking sometimes but turmeric I find harder unless I am doing a curry. How much do people use in tea?

Thanks :D
