Popular Breakfast Foods That Increase Inflammation, Say Dietitians

Keep These Items Off Your Breakfast Plate By Erich Barganier When you need to get your morning going right, you can't take any shortcuts when it comes to breakfast. This important meal has the power to start your day and can put you in the right mood to face whatever life can throw at you. Sometimes, there just isn't the time to have a sit-down breakfast during the week and a pastry or some fruit needs to suffice. Unfortunately, there are some breakfast foods that have the potential to spark inflammation across the body.

When you eat certain foods, your arteries create plaque, causing a white blood cell response and the inflammation that comes with the territory. If your body is constantly inflamed over time, it can lead to chronic inflammation. If you want to avoid this harmful reaction, you can monitor what items you eat—especially for breakfast.
