If you have conditions that cause inflammation, you are likely going to have to change your eating habits. Most doctors we work with will recommend an anti-inflammatory diet. You might think giving up something you love is too hard. If you find yourself thinking “I can’t give up bread!” We have some good news for you — bread is possible on an anti-inflammatory diet! But don’t buy your bread from the bread isle in the grocery store, as that bread is likely highly processed and full of inflammatory ingredients. If you can’t find a bread without all of the preservatives, try this simple and nutritious anti-inflammatory sandwich bread recipe.
This recipe can also be frozen so make a loaf or two at a time. If you’re not going to eat it all in a few days, freeze some slices and pull it out of your freezer as needed.
