Inflammation Causing Food #5: Processed Meats
The smell of bacon in the morning can be enough to have our mouths salivating in excitement. Other processed meats such as sausage and ham are also delicious but unfortunately, they are often far from healthy. They will often be left off the menu for people that are trying to eat a healthy diet.
Processed meats tend to contain inflammatory advanced glycation end products and also saturated fats. Many will also contain various chemicals and other compounds that can also be inflammatory as well as being unhealthy in other ways. You don’t necessarily have to cut them out of your diet completely, and some will be less unhealthy than others, but processed meats should be eaten in moderation.
