Soda
A research in the Journal of Nutrition found that women who drank the most soda had the highest level of biomarkers of inflammation and cardiovascular risk compared to women who drank less of the bubbly stuff.
Deli meat
If you’ve been bored with your daily turkey sandwich, try switching it up and avoiding deli meat altogether. “Processed meats such as deli meat contain more advanced glycation end products (AGEs) than most other meats,” says Dr. Hollingsworth.
“AGEs are inflammatory compounds that are created when the meats are dried, smoked, or otherwise processed and cooked at high temperatures.” Dr. Hollingworth explained that these AGEs are known to cause inflammation and lead to chronic diseases like colon cancer.
