What do the red and orange food items mean?

The foods listed in red and orange can be inflammatory-causing. When the body is in a state of inflammation, it can be more prone to carrying extra water weight and / or extra body fat or other physical dis-eases. This can exacerbate IBS here also. A simple analogy for this: when we hurt ourselves, we can be more prone to swelling, i.e. carrying excess water to encase the inflammation; the same goes for foods that may be inflammatory causing. A lot of our customers have seen significant benefits by doing this alone. Also, when our body is injured, it requires more vitamins and minerals to balance out the inflammation.
