10 Foods That Cause Inflammation
Inflammation Causing Food #8: Saturated Fats
Saturated fats are often blamed for ill health, particularly problems such as obesity and heart disease. While they are far from healthy, though, we find that they are not as ‘bad’ as we thought. They are important to us, even necessary, but they should be consumed in moderation to help prevent serious health complications.
Studies have shown that saturated fat consumption can trigger the inflammation of fatty tissue in the body. Also, fatty cells could release inflammatory compounds as they grow larger with more saturated fat consumption. This can be avoided with a healthy, balanced diet and plenty of exercise.
