Inflammation and your gut: Expert guidance to improve your health
ZOE Science & Nutrition
Inflammation and the Impact of Food Consumption
Consuming food can lead to inflammation, with a peak occurring six to eight hours after a meal, especially with snacking late at night. Fasting overnight can help dampen inflammation. Not all food causes inflammation; high-fiber, high-protein, and good fat foods are unlikely to cause an inflammatory reaction. However, fatty foods, particularly poor quality and saturated fats found in ultra-processed foods, tend to cause a substantial inflammatory reaction. The impact of food on inflammation can vary among individuals, indicating a degree of personalization. Regular consumption of bad foods at regular intervals throughout the day can keep the body in a high state of inflammation, leading to high body stress. This constant high level of inflammation can be attributed to both dietary habits and environmental factors. The gut also plays a significant role in the body's response to different foods and their impact on inflammation.
