Refined grains have been linked to higher levels of inflammatory markers. Inflammation is an important process that the immune system utilises to promote healing, however, if the body is continuously being inflamed and the immune system is constantly working, it makes healing a very difficult process, instead leading to further damage and degeneration.
In our experience grains cause bloating (even mild) which impacts deep core tension and compromises the stability of the spine, having a negative effect on your biomechanics.
We have had fantastic results with clients who listen to our protocols and cut out grains and other inflammatory compounds from their diets.
