10 Foods That Cause Inflammation
Inflammation Causing Food #3: Fried Foods
Delicious, crispy fried foods can be difficult to turn down. Unfortunately, though, they are also one of the biggest contributors to heart disease and other health problems. They are full of unhealthy fats and calories that can block arteries and lead to obesity. They can also contribute to problems with inflammation.
During the frying process, compounds known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are formed. These compounds have been shown to contribute to inflammation, potentially worsening existing conditions. As with other potentially unhealthy foods, it is always best to consume fried foods in moderation to avoid health problems including inflammation.
