The 3 Levels of
Inflammation Health
   Throughout your life, unseen forces are shaping your health. As most people age, they usually progress through three distinct phases of health. Your future depends on understanding these three health levels, and in controlling them. To succeed in weight loss programs and diets, you absolutely must understand the three levels of health.
   You start life in Level 1, which is a non-inflammation, non-insulin resistant state. Your body is able to main homeostasis -- your metabolism adjusts itself to maintain a steady weight and to fight diseases automatically. You look and feel good.
   As you encounter infections and eat the wrong foods, you lose your ability to maintain a healthy balance. Infections could be similar to today's Bird Flu (H5N1) Asian Influenza, measles, mumps, pneumonia, the common cold, gum or tooth infections or a sinus problem. Inflammation increases each time you suffer one of these infections or eat high levels of sugars or "bad fats".
   Each time you become inflamed, you struggle to get back to normal. But sometimes, you don't quite go all the way back. Your body "remembers" your infection and increases its "ready reserve" of inflammatory cytokines, keeping your system on a knife-sharp edge of readiness. Unfortunately, while being constantly ready for infection helps you survive the next infection, it exerts terrible wear-and-tear on your body's delicate tissues and interferes with the smooth functioning of many metabolic systems. Gradually, you move into Level 2, which is chronic low-level inflammation and insulin resistance.
   Level 2 involves a powerful chain reaction of mutually reinforcing metabolic processes. Infection produces inflammation. Inflammation produces insulin resistance. Insulin resistance produces weight gain. Weight gain produces inflammatory cytokines leading to more insulin resistance.
   Insulin resistance starves our muscles, which react by sending messages that lower our resting energy expenditure to conserve our reserves and then, the insulin resistance makes us hungry in an effort to feed our starving muscles. Under these conditions, weight loss is almost impossible. We look "fat" to others, but our muscles think we're starving... at least chemically. Due to this process, grossly fat people are in fact starving. As a result of this starvation, we eat more sugars, simple starches and fats to add to our disease, while preventing or slowing weight loss inspite of your dieting efforts.
   As these conditions worsen, you finally begin to exhibit obvious diseases of Level 3 -- cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, Alzheimers, arthritis, stroke, cancer... To that list add acne vulgaris, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, benign prostatic hyperplagea, polycystic ovary disease, chronic headaches, cluster and migraine headaches, skin tags, many auto-immune diseases and so on. It's a big list.
   The goal of the Level1Diet.com and the Food Guide Football™ is to return you to Level 1 ...

Anti-Inflammation
Program
   The original FDA Food Guide Pyramid from 1992 is dead. It has been discarded finally by the FDA themselves. It was changed repeatedly to accommodate new research, and in 2005 it was updated with a new "sliding scale" dietary approach called My Pyramid. A consumer research study performed by the USDA among consumers from 2002 to 2004 proved that most people are still confused about the Food Guide Pyramid. People are unclear about what to eat and why it's good for them. Today, the Pyramid approach remains confusing and unhelpful for most people. Consumers are not sure about serving sizes, and relative proportions of different types of food to include in their diet. Scientists continue to argue about the actual details of the food approaches that ought to be recommended. Even the newer MyPyramid System remains controversial. The confusion and outright incorrect thinking behind the Food Guide Pyramid persists in many nutritional circles.
   To replace the pyramid, we have developed a simple, easy to understand pictographic meal plan called the Food Guide Football™.

   When we studied the kinds and amounts of foods that should be eaten on the state-of-the-art anti-inflammation diet, we found an interesting fact... they fit roughly into the shape of a traditional American football.
   The football shape helps us show you what proportions the different kinds of food to place on your plate through the day. It is a relative size or layout of the foods on the plate -- the way you naturally see them when you sit at the table.
   At the one small end are the "good fats" -- virgin olive oils and virgin coconut oils. Small servings of simple sugars and starches are minimized in the other small end.
   Inside one white stripe are proteins from vegetables like beans, peas, nuts and seeds. The other stripe represents lean cuts of chicken, turkey, grass-fed beef or wild fish.
   Finally, in the big central area are colorful, high antioxidant, high fiber, complex carbohydrates with a low glycemic index. The legal food list includes hundreds of fresh or frozen vegetables and fruits.
   Antioxidant spices like ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, chile, cayenne and many herbs are powerful allies in the battle against inflammation. Green and brown teas are high on the list.
   Let's get into the deadly serious anti-inflammation game. Are you ready for some football? ...
