At Onco Meal Prep, we believe in nourishing your body with wholesome, inflammation-fighting foods to support your journey to optimal health. Inflammation builds up slowly in your body, our meal preps do not contain any of the below 10 foods and beverages that will contribute to inflammation in your body.
1. Sugary Treats
Indulging in candy and sweet snacks may provide temporary pleasure and a short term dopamine hit, but they're also packed with added sugars or high fructose corn syrup that fuel inflammation and spike insulin. Seek for naturally sweetened alternatives like fresh fruits filled with fibre and micronutrients or our delicious high protein snacks for a guilt-free treat.
2. Processed and Fast Foods
Convenience foods like fast food meals, ready meals and processed snacks are often laden with trans fats, flavour enhancers and preservatives, triggering inflammation in the body. If time is an issue for you choose our freshly prepared meal preps made with wholesome ingredients to nourish your body and support inflammation-free living.
3. Processed Meats
Bacon, sausages, and other processed meats are notorious inflammation triggers due to their high salt and preservative content. Swap them out for protein-rich options like grass fed beef and lamb or free range chicken or turkey to promote optimal health and well-being while hitting your protein targets.
4. Sweetened Snacks
Steer clear of sugary cereals and snacks that can spike your blood sugar levels and contribute to inflammation. Choose nutrient-dense snack options, such nuts fresh and dried fruits, provide the perfect balance of sweetness and sustenance without the added sugars but with higher fibre content.
5. Excessive Alcohol Consumption
Frequent alcohol intake can disrupt gut health and promote inflammation throughout the body. Enjoy our refreshing herbal teas and infused waters as hydrating alternatives to support your body's anti-inflammatory response. In social circles this can be tough, set yourself a 2 drink limit and limit your calories on that day so you can fit in the calories from the alcohol. Also hydrate really well before during and after any alcohol consumption.
6. Refined Carbohydrates
Refined white flour products lack essential nutrients and fibre, leading to gut inflammation and blood sugar imbalances. Choose organic grains, to fuel your body with sustained energy and reduce inflammation.
7. Trans Fats
Avoid foods containing trans fats, such as fried snacks and packaged baked goods, which elevate LDL cholesterol levels and promote inflammation. Our meals are prepared with heart-healthy fats like extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil and grass fed butter to support your body's natural anti-inflammatory processes.
8. Deep-Fried Foods
Battered and deep-fried foods can inflame your digestive tract and contribute to chronic inflammation. Seek for oven-baked or grilled options to enjoy the same delicious flavours without the added inflammation just as we serve here at ONCO meal prep, our oven baked sweet potato wedges provide resistance starch to help feed your microbiome.
9. Sugary Beverages
Sodas and sugary beverages are packed with added sugars and preservatives that can fuel inflammation in the body. Choose infused water and herbal teas as nutritious alternatives to support your body's overall health and vitality. Try sparkling water with squeezed fresh lime for a refreshing drink.
10. Artificial Sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners found in diet sodas and snacks can disrupt gut health and exacerbate inflammation. Choose naturally sweetened treats made with ingredients like stevia and monk fruit for a satisfying indulgence without the inflammatory effects.
