Body on Fire: Preventing Inflammation and Illness
The Exam Room by the Physicians CommitteeAbout this episode
Discover what it means to have inflammation in your body and unlock the secrets of a diet that can help to extinguish the unhealthy fire that is burning inside of you! On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Dr. Monica Aggarwal and Dr. Jyothi Rao join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to discuss inflammation and how it can trigger chronic diseases that take years off of your life. The authors of "Body On Fire" will make you rethink what it means to have a Big Mac attack. It's not just a craving for two artery-clogging all-beef patties, not so special sauce, lettuce, high-fat cheese, pickles, and onions on a sesame seed bun. A Big Mac attack is actually a highly inflammatory all-out assault on your health that fans the flames of disease. The standard American diet is filled with foods just like the Big Mac that serve as the gasoline being poured on an unhealthy fire! So what can you do to bring the blaze under control? Doctors Aggarwal and Rao share the anti-inflammatory foods that can help get you back on track, including specific spices! You will also learn how quality sleep and exercise can help to control inflammation and improve your health! Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard talks with Chuck about the link between COVID-19 and inflammation. Can a person reduce their risk for COVID by shifting toward a more anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle?
