FOODS THAT CAUSE AND REDUCE INFLAMMAT ION FIND THE RIGHT FOOD BALANCE
The food you eat plays a major role in how your body functions on the cellular level. Some foods can wreak havoc on your body, while others canmake you feel great. This is especially true when it comes to that all-too-common ailment, inflammation.
Here are a few examples of foods that lead to inflammation:
Sugar: One of the biggest culprits behind inflammation, sugar is far worse than eating fatty foods. It’s best to skip foods that have added sugar (and this includes sugar of any kind, including corn syrup, fructose, and sucrose). Many manufacturers now label food withmore specific kinds of sugar to hide the fact that they added sugar to their product. Be sure to read labels carefully!
Refined carbs: Basically anythingmade fromwhite flour falls into this category, including bread, pasta, baked goods, and cereals. Research suggests that refined carbs may be a bigger contributing factor than fat in obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Alcohol: Toomuch alcohol puts a burden on your liver, an organ that helps flush toxins out of the body. You know all of those detox diets? They don’t work.

Madeline is one of the best caregivers I've encountered in my years of home health medical work. I am a medical speech pathologist with Home Health Agency and have bumped into many, many caregivers in my work from all different agencies. Madeline stands out. She is empathetic; compassionate but firm when it is in the veteran's best interest; and patient and flexible. I have seen her be creative and innovative to figure out unique ways to solve problems that others have given up on. She has learned how to help [her patient] without injuring their dignity. She attends to them and responds quickly. She has allowed them to make their own choices and has continued to provide the best care that she can. She is emotionally tough, physically fit, and able to do the hard work needed. She has the grit to continue with patience, dignity, and respect after her clients' uncontrolled bowel
She fixes simple and nutritious homemade meals for the VA home health patients with enough to enjoy a second meal, and she wraps them so that he can enjoy them later. I've seen her fix T-bone steak, seasoned baked chicken legs, beets, cooked vegetables, and baked potatoes. It occurred to me that Madeline makes BrightStar Care look awesome. Madeline's care of our mutual patient makes me feel that BrightStar Care hires the best, and I think your agency should consider allowing her to train new caregivers.
Luke 16:10-11— Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted withmuch, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest withmuch. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? Jeremiah 17:7— But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. Ephesians 4:26— In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.
