Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Hi All, Recently, I Googled anti inflammatory food and got a list of the 10 best ones. If IPF is at least partially caused by inflammation, then I'm going to add some of these to my diet. Anyone know a reason why not? Are we what we eat? The top one is 1. Salmon. West coast wild salmon only or fish oil supplements. 2. extra virgin olive oil. 3. salad w/ dark lettuce, spinach, tomatoes. 4. cruciferous vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale. 5. cherries. 6. bluberries. 7. tumeric, foind in curry. 8. ginger 9. garlic. green tea. Now you don't have to them all every day, but with your hamburger or chicken or tuna, etc. eat some of these. I also saw that the skin of a red apple has terrific powers to lower inflammation. 1 a day. Also, the lungs are 80% water, so I'm going to drink purified water and nothing from plastic. Not even food if I can help it. Has anyone tried accupunture? I'm a believer of having my mind control my body. I tell my body that I don't have the time nor the inclination to be sick, so lets not even go there. It also means thinking positively and imagining/visualizing my lungs healing. The scarring stopping and bad tissue going away and being replaced by nice pink little balloons with tiny red blood vessels in them. Anyone do this stuff? It can't hurt and may help the meds or eventually allow you to reduce them. What do you think? Terre, IPF 6/08, FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
