Please be gentle. I am just starting to get into an anti-inflammatory diet.
I have been injured by the Pfizer vaccine. I have nerve problems that I believe are either autoimmune or inflammatory in nature.
I have to transition slowly -- adding new things one at a time -- because some 'good' foods have actually made the problem worse. (Spinach and canned beans made the problem worse).
I have a few questions:
1. If I end up eating 9 foods that are anti-inflammatory but then I eat one really bad food, how serious is that one bad food? Can one bad food ruin your entire progress? Do I need 100% of my foods to be good or can I have just like one a day that is bad?
2. Are protein drinks with zero sugar considered processed foods and therefore bad?
3. I do not like dark chocolate. Is there anyway to get some chocolate in that isn't bad? I am kind of addicted to chocolate.
4. How good or bad are canned goods: canned peas, canned pineapple, and a jar of olives for instance. Are these at least better than a candy bar? What about grape juice with no added sugar?
5. Here is a list of whole foods that I love. Are all of these considered top notch? Fresh whole mushrooms, strawberries, bananas, garlic, onions, potatoes, carrots, and oranges.
6. Is red wine worth going out and buying or, since it is alcohol, should I avoid it?
7. Should I go and buy boneless chicken breasts or should I avoid meat?
8. Are Quaker Oats (just the barrel of oats and not the little sugar added packets) good?
THANK YOU!
