When you have lipedema, your body permanently suffers from so-called ‘low-grade inflammation’. These inflammations are a reaction of your immune system to the fat deposits, especially in your legs and arms. Because your immune system wants to clear them up. You can imagine that this process costs your body a lot of energy. It is therefore important that we support our body with the right nutrients. We do this by taking in food that takes little energy to process, but does yield a lot of energy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Food that does not cost energy, but gives energy<\/strong><\/p>\n Contrary to what many of us would like to believe, we are not made for the consumption of animal products. Meat puts a huge strain on our intestines because it is difficult to digest. it requires a lot of energy from our body to process these animal-based foods. Where fruit and vegetables are digested in the stomach after about forty minutes, red meat can take up to five hours. It also triggers all kinds of inflammatory reactions in our body. Something that women with lipedema (permanent low-grade inflammation) already suffer from more than enough. Moreover, it is full of harmful substances, such as pesticide, antibiotics, hormones, steroids, heme iron and saturated fat. These substances are all harmful to your health. So which diet is good for lipedema?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A plant-based diet is the perfect lipedema diet<\/strong><\/p>\n So to ensure that my body is not burdened by hard-to-digest animal products, I consciously choose a plant-based diet. This is easy to digest and gives you a lot of energy. Products such as fruit, vegetables, sprouts, but also seeds, nuts and kernels are rich in important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and yes, even rich in proteins. Do you also opt for ‘organic’ as much as possible? Then you also limit the amount of pesticide and fertiliser your food is exposed to. And this way you prevent these harmful (chemical) substances from entering your body. So if someone asks me the question: what kind of diet for is best for a body suffering from lipedema? Then my answer is always plant-based, with as much naturally pure organic products as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lipedema diet: nutritious food is the best thing you can do for your body When you have lipedema, your body permanently suffers from so-called ‘low-grade inflammation’.
