      Introduction

      The immune system is in place to help protect us from infections and diseases. If an autoimmune condition strikes, it means our immune system goes haywire and instead of helping to keep cells healthy, it attacks healthy cells. Two such autoimmune illnesses are rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, although there are well over eighty other autoimmune illnesses. The number one component of these illnesses is inflammation. The best defense and treatment is to be on an anti-inflammatory diet.

      What Foods Cause Inflammation?

      The fact that these illnesses have not been around in abundance until recent history proves that the biggest culprit is processed foods, which have come into our diets over the past century. Since the introduction of processed foods, conditions such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's Disease are on the rise. The best defense is to change the diet. By changing our diet to a healthy nutritious one, we help to suppress inflammation and even to control autoimmune diseases. There are prescription medications to help with autoimmune illnesses but they are not without some very serious side effects. Food is a lot easier on the body. When diagnosed with an autoimmune illness the best line of action is to try dieting first. (Ask your physician!)

      The facts are strong that consuming an anti-inflammatory diet will help to reduce the symptoms of autoimmune conditions, especially conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's. Research also proves that dieting can help to prevent the occurrence of such diseases. An anti-inflammatory diet will be one low in gluten but rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Certain meats like excessive red meat and processed foods should be avoided. Foods high in refined sugars and hydrogenated oils are also inflammation producing. Eating foods high in omega 3 fatty acids like cold water fish is helpful along with the fresh fruits and vegetables.

      Other studies show that consuming a vegan diet is helpful in treating illnesses that cause inflammation, thus the facts that fresh fruit and vegetables are among the very best foods to eat. The diets in the Western half of the world are high in animal protein and processed foods, so it is no wonder that autoimmune conditions are on the rise here. Focus on a healthier diet is the key to maintaining good health.

      Other Considerations for Treating Autoimmune Conditions

      While dieting is the best defense in both treatment and possible prevention of autoimmune conditions there are other health considerations that can help as well. The body reacts to stress causing undue stress physically as well as mentally. In order to be as healthy as possible you must learn how to control the stress in your life. It is not always possible to avoid stressful situations, but you can control how you react to them. Another area that causes the body undue stress is the lack of rest. People need a good six to eight hours of rest each day (or more). If you are not able to wake up feeling rested, then you should either go to bed earlier or try to take a short nap during the day. A nap of just twenty minutes will work wonders on the mind and the body. A third area of consideration is to get the right amount of exercise. Exercise helps to keep a body healthy and even
