Dr. Perricone’s Anti-Inflammatory Diet

March 30, 2009 at 9:26 am · Filed under Diet

Dr. Perricone’s anti-inflammatory diet is the cornerstone of the Perricone Program. The right anti-inflammatory foods and beverages will help prevent age-related diseases and degenerative conditions – both physical and mental. By following an anti-inflammatory diet, our food choices ensure that our skin will look youthful, supple and radiant, our mental states positive and upbeat, our energy levels high and our thinking clear and sharp.

The anti-inflammatory diet consists of the following components:

  •  high-quality protein, like that found in fish, shellfish, poultry and tofu;
  •  low-glycemic* carbohydrates including colorful fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains such as old-fashioned oatmeal, legumes such as beans and lentils;
  • healthy fats, such as those found in cold water fish (especially wild Alaskan salmon, halibut, sardines, herring, anchovies, etc.), nuts, seeds, and olive oil
  •  8 -10 glasses of pure spring water per day.
  •  Anti-oxidant rich beverages such as green tea 

    These foods and beverages act as natural anti-inflammatories and help to maintain normal levels of insulin and blood sugar. The incomparable health and beauty benefits of Dr. Perricone’s anti-inflammatory diet are visible in just three days.

    *will not provoke a glycemic response when consumed in moderation

    Thanks for the blog! I’m a fan of Dr. Perricone’s products but did not know he advocated healthy diets. I have a current giveaway for a hand treatment.

    I’ve tried the facial products but have switched over to CellCeuticals which I love. I’ll have to see about the diet but it seems like a normal healthy diet.

    Nice template too!
