Today, I want to share the best food for inflammation.
This food is powerful for any type of inflammatory condition, autoimmune disease, or any condition that ends in “itis.”
There is an interesting connection between inflammation in your joints and inflammation in your gut. To get rid of inflammation, we can’t forget about supporting a healthy gut.
Top foods that cause inflammation:
• Grains
• Alcohol
• Sugar
• Junk foods/ultra-processed foods
• Corn
• Soy
• Seed oils
• A1 milk proteins
• Fiber and functional fiber products
• Plant-protein products
Even beans, legumes, and vegetables can contribute to the problem if you have an inflammatory condition. You may need to try the carnivore diet for a little while.
The root cause of inflammation starts in the gut, and it’s called intestinal permeability or leaky gut. Glutamine, an important amino acid for your colon cells, is essential for this situation.
The best food to fight inflammation is beef, which is very high in glutamine. Glutamine greatly supports the gut and is beneficial for inflammatory conditions.
One of the best anti-inflammatory foods for vegans and vegetarians is cabbage. Cabbage, especially red cabbage, is a great source of glutamine.
Other foods rich in glutamine include:
• Sheep or goat cheese
• Kefir
• Eggs
• Fish
• Bone broth

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps increase your awareness of the best food for inflammation. I’ll see you in the next video.
Beef for meat eaters and sauerkraut / cabbage for vegetarians
Food high in glutamine:
Cheese, Kefir, Eggs, Fish, Bone Broth
YUM YUM BIG MAC without the buns!
I hate fish since little but I do buy from time to time omega 3 sardine oil capsules. Its said that 1.2gr of these equals to eating 1 fish every day for a week. Just be carefull of which produt you buy as many of these contain heavy metals as the fish it self was not caught in cold clean waters. The solutions of clean or at least 98-99% clean DHA omega 3 oils on the market are really few .
@fidel catsro you trust that meat?
@TheSteamMachineI do the same with liver. Always hated it, but get the capsules.
I totally agree with beef being anti-inflammatory compared to bread.
Dr
Berg u are in our heart❤ because u are a great man.
🍖 Breaking my fast with 80/20 grass-fed grass-finished Beef & 2 tablespoons of Sauerkraut, after my Ghost Pepper and Lemon Smoothie on an empty stomach today! Thanks, Dr. Berg! Have a wonderful day, people! 🙌
Nicely done! 👌
breakfast of champions!! your body will thank you x1000.
2 tablespoons of sauerkraut? 😂 y bother
@Christina B I assume it’s to help digestion
Dr. Berg, since I had Covid for the first time 2 years ago, and this year I had it for the second time, I started to suffer from dysbiosis. I also have hypoparathyroidism due to thyroid removal, which In itself, it greatly harms intestinal functioning. I researched your vídeos and discovered that glutamine has the ability to regenerate intestinal cells. I took 5g as recommended by nutritionists, but I had a very bad effect, very weak, shaking, urinating too much, I was scared. It seems to me that glutamine causes us to eliminate calcium, is that true? Will I not be able to use this amino acid? I have already taken compounds with various amino acids and this has never occurred to me. And please, Could you talk about female hormone replacement? Thank you so much for sharing and helping us so much with your knowledge! 🙏
@Rob SullivanNo, I would never do that. Covid can actually have a huge impact on the intestinal microbiota
I was clean Keto for over 4 years but I still had some gut issues, so I went Carnivore for the ultimate healing. The supplement you took was probably the problem. Get the ultimate healing from just eating beef and lamb and maybe some fermented cabbage.
@The Man I will try to follow your advice and start the keto diet. I worry because I’m already underweight. I’m going to see a nutritionist and adapt my diet a little as I also have discomfort with foods with a high foodmap content. Thanks!
@Mary Mary
I wish you all the best on the road to recovery because I really believe that you will do it. Every beginning is very hard and can sometimes make someone despair, but never give up. You are sure to find the perfect ingredients on the way to your ultimate health.
@Mary Mary Keto or Carnivore are not weight loss diets. They will optimize your body. After your body is healed it will gain muscle and your bones will get stronger. Eat till you want not more, do not starve yourself.
I hope many people watch this video and be informed. Changing diet is much easier than medication. Thank you, Dear Dr. Berg.
For some changing diets is easier or harder depending on how they have programmed to think.
Definitely easier than spending hours at the gym but both are important 😊
Changing your diet is not easier by any means. Taking a pill is far easier. The diet change is better for you though.
@ce2flaco It can be done. Just say “yes”.
I think people view changing diet as far harder since you have to have discipline to actually eat healthy. Is diet better than meds? Definitely. Is taking a pill easier than changing your lifestyle? Definitely
Dr Berg is the Boss, thank you so much Sir for your valuable information. I’ve private playlists of (mostly of your videos) different ailments for my family friends and myself. Now my friends and family message me and I forward your information and videos.
Such a wealth of knowledge, and I love your eat yourself healthy then add necessary meds & supplements approach. Thank you again.
Yes Dr Berg all this nonsense about eating real meat, and all orchestrated too is highly concerning.
Im also sick of this censorship too, grrrr
Thank you Dr. For the information on gut inflammation like to hear about Diverticulosis
@T K I would love to see Dr Berg do that video on Diverticulitis too, because my elderly Mum has it.
Before yesterday I started training again, I did quite high intensity training, short sets. Yesterday I did 25 hours of fasting, broke it with a salad that had cabbage + 200g of beef, then did a 20h fast. Dang, the soreness of the muscles after a time of inactivity was almost non-existent, I could only feel pain by massaging the muscles, but the rest of the day I was pretty much not feeling any. It’s impressive that this video came out right at this very moment.
I followed Dr. Berg’s advice and removed the seed oil and my inflammations decreased significantly after 2-3 weeks. For a year, no doctor could understand why these inflammations were so painful and even almost suggested to me that it was in my mind “you got to learn to live with it”.
Which oil have you been using?
@Phoeby Mwangi
I mostly use virgin organic coconut oil and organic animal fats such as dissolved organic beef tallow or organic butter of animal origin.
Same issue. I actually cut all oils for a month. Chronic neck pain is gone.
For sure. The next common reason…you’re getting old!
I found your channel about 8 weeks ago now, the same amount of time I’ve been doing fasting, and keto diet. I was also diagnosed with MS a year ago (at the hospital), but I am still awaiting to see the MS clinic. At one point, they were confused and not sure what exactly i had (neurologist). Keep in mind that I’ve had non-stop pain this whole year to the point where i needed help walking. I cut all sugars and carbs (small amount of sugar in the kefir), and fast every day at 18:6. Im telling you, these last 8 weeks have been amazing with hardly any pain left. I’ve been eating sauerkraut every day as a side as well as kimchi, kefir, and beef a couple of times a week. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Im also taking a B1 vitamin.
I was diagnosed with MS about a year and a half ago. I’m doing much better today thanks to diet I believe
@beastywild I believe so too, that it’s because of diet and fasting.
Congratulations on your new found success!
@nickbonvino2292 thank you 🙂
Probably you need add PANCREATIN (protease amylase lipase papain) this enzymes are good for reducing inflammation.
I was vegan for seven years. Slowly, I came back to meat. Now, I’ve reduced my carb intake. I feel better. I now eat mostly beef, chicken, eggs and certain vegetables including cabbage. I clearly feel better. My inflammatory issues have subsided.
Very interesting insight from you. It’s good that you listened to your body, tried it out and noticed that you felt better. I wish you all the best for the future.
Do you mean you were plantbased bc many get the term vegan wrong as being vegan is not a diet. Being vegan is against animal exploitation.
Dr Berg is like an angel for the food world 🎉
Absolutely spot on! Beef and cabbage makes up 99percent of my diet over the past 7 years. It literally erased my inflammatory problems.
You must be eating something else too though. Only 2 things for 7 years sounds more akin to monk living.
@Cornelious Stradivarius
You know what…the way they’re genetically modifying everything, you may have to pick 1 or 2 things to eat each day that won’t kill ya. 😅🙂
Autoimmune diseases can be caused by eating a lot of mammal foods (such as beef) because mammals are so similar to humans.
Chicken has more glutamine than beef. Fish and cheese have almost as much as beef. Cabbage has less than spinach and much much less than foods with a high protein content.
LMAO you’re not wrong. Thanks haha :D@Eileen Am
I eat eggs and almonds mostly.
Dr Berg you have helped me change my life! 3 months in Keto and IF and my fatty liver is healing, my inflammation has all but gone, my fibromyalgia is stable and I’m 28lbs lighter
Thank you Sir
Yep! Me too over a year ago! The weight was falling off FAST! I had gotten down to 129lbs! I was running up to 5-6 miles a day with no pain. My joints started feeling better, no more pain from lupus or fibromyalgia. My skin started to glow!! I stopped every single pill my Dr gave me and changed my eating habits ( not that it was horrible) but I was eating everything the FDA says is “healthy”. I research what Dr Berg said for a yr before I started doing what he recommended, lol. And he’s helped me tremendously!
I was really hoping the surprise #1 food was going to be carrot cake, but beef makes sense. Love these videos. Thanks Doc!
😂😅
🥕 🎂
😂😂
How is a doctor who’s teaching people to be healthy being censored on YouTube?
That doesn’t make any sense…
On behalf of us who are here learning how to heal ourselves and keep ourselves healthy in a natural way. We appreciate you, Dr. Berg!
Yes I am perplexed as well. Is it because the healthier we are the more we don’t consume from the pharmaceuticals?
When you begin to understand what’s really happening, you’ll understand the censorship!
@TheEdub. That’s one of the biggest reasons!
Please grow your own cabbages.. if you knew how much poison goes onto cabbages you would not eat the bought stuff.. i gave up farming cabbages on a big scale because of this… in south africa tho..
Speak truth; you’ll be vanished. That’s always been the case, but people never realised it.
We love you Dr Berg! THANKYOU so much. I started watching your videos 12 months ago, and as a result, changed my diet radically and started intermittent fasting. I avoid all these types of foods you mention. Today I have significantly reduced my endometriosis pain! KEEP GOING and people, please persevere with your diet!
Thank you, Dr Berg! Interestingly enough, beef and cabbage are basic ingredients of many Eastern European dishes, e.g. the Russian soup Shchi. People have been eating this kind of food for hundreds of years.
Yes, very much. Romanian dish..Halushkas! Cabbage rolls!
I agree. I’ve been doing Keto & fasting for 4 years already. Before doing Keto & fasting, I was following the typical doctor recommendations like avoiding red meat, nuts & beans. I was already doing low carb & I was active but the bloating, gout, plantar fasciitis, dermatitis wouldn’t go away. I started watching your videos & stopped eating grains, highly processed carbs & also stopped using highly processed cooking oils, & then all the inflammation went away. I am trying to share my experience to people that have this problems but us is difficult to change their minds because they were told by everybody including their doctors the wrong information. I want to thank you Dr Berg, for all your informative videos. What gives Keto a bad name is when people do it wrong. When people are not well informed & do dirty Keto, it creates new problems.
Dr. Berg, you always get me with “autoimmune disease”. I get my pin and paper out when I hear “autoimmune disease” 😂 I love my Dr. Berg! You and your wife have a great weekend!
