Inflammatory Foods & The Furious 5

Nova Health Club • February 18, 2022

The Furious 5


These a group of common inflammatory foods that should be avoided when optimizing health is the goal.


The Furious 5 Include:


1) Wheat/Gluten 

2) Dairy 

3) Sugar

4) Corn 

5) Soy 


Inflammation is your body’s response to stress. This response is normal because it's your body's immune system response telling your body that it is in danger.


Imagine this inflammation happening in your gut, organs, muscles and joints, but never having a chance to heal because the body is constantly exposed to The Furious 5 ingredients.


Most people are in this state of chronic inflammation and it is one of the major reasons why they are stuck in their pursuit of good health. You cannot drop body fat, or avoid illness if you are in this state.


While these foods have been shown to be culprits in many people, they are not necessarily bad for everyone. However, as mentioned, when optimizing health or fat loss is the goal, these foods should be eliminated or severely minimized. Taking on an 'anti-inflammatory' diet as a lifestyle or even as a 'cleanse' is a great way to restore health and decrease the 'fuel being thrown on the fire.'


If you are curious to see how you respond to eliminating the Furious 5 then try it for at least 6-12weeks. I encourage everyone to try it for 12 weeks so they can really see the difference. It is likely you will notice some dramatic changes in digestion, skin, energy, weight loss, breathing etc. The results from my personal experience have always been positive.


Once you try an anti-inflammatory diet for a period of time you can decide how much of these ingredients you want to allow back into your life.
