For my notes: anti-inflammatory diet
Anti-inflammatory diet -- he gave us a pamphlet that said:
* Reduce your consumption of foods made with wheat flour and sugar, especially bread and most packaged snack foods (including chips and pretzels).
* Eat more whole grains (not whole-wheat-flour products), beans, winter squashes, and sweet potatoes.
* Use extra-virgin olive oil as a main cooking oil. If you want a neutral-tasting oil, use expeller-pressed- organic canola oil.
* Avoid regular safflower and sunflower oils, corn oil, cottonseed oil, and mixed vegetable oils.
* Include in your diet avocados, and nuts, especially walnuts, cashews, and almonds and nut butters made from them.
* For omega-3 fatty acids, eat salmon (preferably fresh or frozen wild or canned sockeye), sardines packed in water or olive oil, herring, black cod (sablefish, butterfish), omega-3 fortified eggs, hemp seeds, flaxseeds (preferably freshly ground), and walnuts; or take a fish oil supplement.
* Drink tea instead of coffee, especially good-quality white, green, or oolong tea.
* If you drink alcohol, use red wine preferentially.
* Enjoy plain dark chocolate (with a minimum cocoa content of 70 percent) in moderation.
(my note) * avoid citrus and other acidic foods as much as possible
