The Deflame Diet

Dr. Seaman coined the term "DeFlame" as a simple educational tool to help better understand the benefits of replacing pro-inflammatory foods with anti-inflammatory vegetables, fruit, nuts, and roots/tubers. He first identified that diet promotes inflammation based on research published in the 1970s and 1980s. Most have only begun to see this relationship in recent years. In contrast, Dr Seaman has written multiple articles and chapters on this topic over the past 25 years. The DeFlame Diet is about eating anti-inflammatory foods to turn off the chronic disease-promoting "flame" created by pro-inflammatory foods. This is the first nutrition book for the general public that delves into inflammation in great detail, yet in a fashion that is understandable. Readers will never be confused again about what foods we should and should not be eating.

Chronic inflammation is a popular topic today, but do people really understand what it is? The answer is... NO. Chronic inflammation is a low-grade, non-healing state that over time leads to tissue and organ degeneration. In common language, this means that your body is literally "rotting." This book outlines the biological rotting process as it occurs in body fat, arteries, joints, muscles, tendons, bones, and the nervous system, which leads to chronic pain, heart attacks, and depression. The reason for framing chronic inflammation as a state of "biological rotting" is because people incorrectly believe that chronic inflammation is something that can be reduced with medications or supplements, or by eating specific "so-called" anti-inflammatory foods, without otherwise addressing the underlying causes. The primary causes of biologic rotting are sedentary living, a lack of sleep, mental/emotional stressors, and a pro-inflammatory diet. This new DeFlame book focuses on how a pro-inflammatory diet causes the body to rot. The primary pro-inflammatory culprit is the overconsumption of refined sugar, flour, and oil, which amounts to almost 60% of the calories for many people. The result is chronic inflammation, which increases with weight gain that leads to obesity and the manifestation of the pro-inflammatory metabolic syndrome, which causes joints, muscles, tendons, bones, spinal discs, and the nervous system to chronically rot and never heal.

Immune health has become especially popular in 2020 due to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, which is the name of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The immune system has both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory functions that are executed by immune cells based on the stressors we all face on a daily basis. Normally, we have no idea that our immune system is working; it takes care of us in a silent fashion. We find out that our immune cells are behaving in a pro-inflammatory fashion when we feel sick. For example, if you are sick in bed with cold or flu symptoms and a fever, it is because your immune system is activated and pumping out an excess of inflammatory chemicals. Many other symptoms manifest when the immune system is pro-inflammatory even when we are not sick with a cold or flu, such as chronic pain, headaches, fatigue, anxiety, depression, brain fog, and malaise. It turns out that nutrition is a key factor that determines immune activity. A high calorie diet that is rich in refined sugar, flour, and oils, which leads to obesity and high blood glucose levels, causes immune cells to behave in a pro-inflammatory fashion. In addition to the symptoms mentioned above, these same people are at a much greater risk for developing severe cold and flu symptoms, and severe cases of COVID-19. The DeFlame Diet for Immune Health will teach you about immune function and inflammation, how to track inflammation, and how to DeFlame your diet to normalize immune activity.

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women. It is estimated that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Unfortunately, most women actually pursue breast cancer expression without knowing it. The DeFlame Diet for Breast Health and Cancer Prevention outlines the common pro-inflammatory dietary factors that promote breast cancer, which should be eliminated from the diet, along with strategies for "DeFlaming" your body. A "DeFlamed" body is at less risk for developing all chronic diseases, including breast cancer.
