“Let food be thy medicine.”

We know how overwhelming it can be to digest all of the information on the internet about what to eat, what not to eat, how to eat, when to eat, and so on, without losing your mind a little bit. At Equilibrio, we want to simplify things for you and curate a collection of information that will serve you and your balanced lifestyle.

Nutrition is the most important part of your balanced lifestyle. When you look at disease, aging, energy; it all boils down to your daily diet. Through our own research and learning, we have found that the topic we keep bumping into is inflammation.

Basically, inflammation is the first sign of so many chronic health issues. Stress, autoimmune disorders, mood, and pain, all manifest in our bodies as inflammation. If left untreated, this is a recipe for disaster. Not to be dramatic but choosing anti-inflammatory foods can literally save your life. We are way too familiar with diseases like dementia and alzheimer’s that are directly tied to inflammation.

But where to start? You shouldn’t feel like you need to restrict yourself. Instead, think of it as adding to your diet. Below is an amazing video by The Doctor’s Kitchen that perfectly educates us on anti-inflammatory foods. Use this as your guide to slowly incorporate these items into your home and your meals.
