> degenerative diseases.
> 
> What is the basic idea? Reducing consumption of rapidly-digested
> highly-processed carbohydrates with the goal of normalizing insulin
> levels, avoiding unhealthy fats such as trans-fats and polyunsaturated
> vegetable oils, and increasing the intake of foods and supplements
> that naturally decrease inflammation, such as non-starchy vegetables,
> fish oil, turmeric, and coenzyme Q10.

> and/or flour.
> Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as those found in safflower
> and sunflower oil.
