    Introduction

    A Try-It Diet is just that — a diet that you can try out for two weeks to see if it is a good fit for you. Keep in mind that not every diet is right for every person; please consult with your doctor before making radical changes to your diet.

    From the first day of life and throughout the life cycle, the human body is continually bombarded by toxins, chemicals, viruses, bacteria, and other potentially damaging factors. Fortunately, the body naturally responds to these adverse circumstances by initiating an inflammatory response. During this response, the potentially harmful threats are dealt with promptly and completely. Or at least this is what was once believed.

    Years of research has led to the realization that the inflammatory response is not always turned off in a timely manner. As a result, a majority of humans venture through their lives with some degree of silent inflammation that can wreak havoc on their bodies. Instead of protecting and healing the body, inflammation becomes the enemy. This can clearly be seen by the increased prevalence of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and autoimmune disorders, to mention a few. Now it is proven that these conditions are clearly and intimately linked to uncontrolled silent inflammation.

    So what to do when a good thing goes bad? The most common response, especially in the medical world, is to treat the symptoms, diseases, and conditions with medications such as over-the-counter analgesics and often with more powerful, and potentially harmful, prescription drugs. This will quell inflammation temporarily, but is this really a long-term solution? Individuals versed in prevention would answer this question with a definitive no. To properly treat silent inflammation, a few steps need to be taken backward before the patient can move forward and treat inflammation from a preventative and permanent stance rather than with an after-the-fact approach.

    Commitment to anti-inflammatory eating patterns and lifestyle practices is the first line of defense in fighting off inflammation and the disabling chronic diseases that plague humans worldwide.

    Cooling inflammation is all about making the right choices, most of the time. These anti-inflammatory choices include consumption of healthy fats, fruits and vegetables rich in phytochemicals (plant chemicals) and antioxidants, lean protein foods, whole grains, and probiotics. Adequate sleep and fluids, weight management, exercise, stress reduction, and dietary supplements round out the anti-inflammatory menu. You can expect to see a noticeable difference in your inflammatory symptoms within two weeks of following the anti-inflammatory diet.

    Most healthy adults should aim for 2,000 to 3,000 calories each day. Women and sedentary individuals generally require fewer calories than men. Aim to cover two-thirds of your plate with plant-based foods such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. The remaining one-third should consist of protein-rich foods such as lean animal proteins, beans, nuts and seeds,
