replying to twhat 7240 regarding the anti-inflammatory diet, I this that the Wellness Diet by Dr. Andrew Weil is the most comprehensive http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/ART02012/anti-inflammatory-diet. I had tried it for a few weeks and although it is more work because I can't just eat a package of cookies or a granola bar (too processed) I did use snack-sized bags with nuts and sunflower seeds and had much more fresh fruit. It IS an adjustment, but I did feel better. I do notice that certain foods don't make me feel great after eating them, tired, not mentally sharp, full, bloated, etc. If you have a hectic schedule though it is going to be a fair amount of work for you to prepare fresh food daily, so try to be reasonable about it and find favorites and stick to that. I don't have kids, and I find it is enough work just to prapare these foods for myself. There are lots of websites for anti-inflammatory-diets, i would suggest reviewing them all and making some decisions that will fit your lifestyle. And congratulations - I am actually going through some personal trouble, because of past behavior my fiance is considering postponing our wedding in October, and even though it is upsetting, I have no irrational thoughts! So I am happy for you and your son, let me know how your research into the anti-inflammatory diet goes.
