1. Ginger & Autoimmune Disease

New research suggests ginger supplements could help control inflammation in autoimmune diseases. Ginger appears to make neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, more resistant to NETosis, which is linked to inflammation in diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

2. Deli Meat

What is the healthiest deli meat option? When choosing deli meat, look for options with minimal ingredients, especially low levels of water and salt. Oven-roasted turkey is considered one of the cleanest choices. Look for organic and free-range varieties.

3. Reading Supplement Labels

When reviewing supplement labels check to see what the added ingredients are. Look for food-based substances and natural coloring. Things you want to avoid are artificial flavors, dyes (such as allura and tartrazine), sugar alcohol, artificial sweeteners, and wax.
