THE BETA SWITCH: THE NEW STUBBORN FAT SOLUTION FOR WOMEN Some of the leading causes of free radicals are: cigarette smoke, stress, alcohol, chemicals, charred food, pesticides, and internal inflammation caused by eating the wrong types of foods. You see, certain foods lead to increases in pro-inflammatory hormones. Refined sugar and processed foods (things in boxes) are among the worst. The body treats preservatives, colors, additives, and other chemicals in foods as toxins. They trigger an immune system response, which leads to inflammation. As a rule, all processed foods contain chemicals and increase inflammation. Eating foods you’re allergic to (or have intolerance to) also triggers a response from the immune system causing more inflammation. Many people (without even knowing) have intolerances to wheat and dairy products, so these are good foods to limit in your diet. Your body is constantly replacing and repairing free radical-damaged cells, but with the way the majority of people abuse their bodies these days (often unknowingly), these free radicals are out of control and a major cause of premature aging, disease, and obesity. The answer is to stop filling your body with these harmful substances and start eating a nutrient-dense diet. And guess what…The Beta Switch is a nutrient- dense diet! There are antioxidants in everything from the veggies and fruit to the ‘indulgence’ dark chocolate you’ll eat. And those antioxidants will help prevent free radicals from doing damage.
