Inflammatory

9 ingredients tagged "Inflammatory" — how they affect digestion, energy, sleep, and mood.

Alcohol Disrupts gut microbiome, sleep quality, and liver function — affecting digestion, mood, and energy even in moderate amounts.
Dairy (Cow's Milk) Contains lactose and casein — two distinct components that drive different reactions, from digestive symptoms to inflammatory and allergic responses.
Gluten A protein in wheat, barley, and rye that triggers immune reactions in people with celiac disease and digestive or systemic symptoms in some others.
High-Glycemic Foods Foods that raise blood glucose quickly — white bread, sugary drinks, instant oats, white potato — driving energy crashes, mood swings, and disrupted sleep.
Nightshades A plant family — tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant, tomatillos — often blamed for worsening inflammation and joint pain, though the evidence is mixed.
Processed Seed Oils Highly refined oils (canola, soy, corn, sunflower, safflower) — high in omega-6 fatty acids and often found in ultra-processed foods. The "are they inflammatory" question is contested.
Red Meat Beef, pork, lamb — high in protein, iron, and B12. Processed red meat is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by IARC; unprocessed intake is also linked to colorectal cancer at high levels.
Refined Sugar Drives blood-sugar spikes that affect energy, mood, focus, and sleep — and at high intake contributes to systemic inflammation and metabolic disease.
Soy A legume that's a top-eight allergen, a major source of plant protein, and a frequent topic of phytoestrogen debate.
