The author of this article expresses that there are foods and beverages along with moderate exercises that can help ease or eliminate inflammation. For us middle age women that have gone through menopause, this author suggested we try to lose the fat in the middle, because it is associated with bad fat. Which is a good idea for many of us who try and don't get enough exercise. The article doesn't say we need to go to a gym or get a personal trainer. But always check with your doctor before starting a weight loss program and if you do, weigh on their scales free. This helps them keep an eye on your weight and you are using the same calibrated scale each time.
