The only thing that interests me about inflammatory foods is whether they produce heartburn or not, because I'm susceptible to it. But I think I've found a cure in, believe it or not, pickle juice. I got a craving for the stuff a few weeks ago, which happens now and then, and went on from there to making my own because I can't eat that many pickles. Pickle juice comes down to water, vinegar and salt, and I think both the vinegar and salt are essential though other flavorings like garlic and dill can be used. Yes, vinegar. Acid vinegar, seems to be a cure for ...acid reflux. Weird but true.
Pickle juice is a common remedy for marathon runners and other endurance athletes who need to replenish electrolytes after a grueling workout. It supposedly helps tremendously with cramps as well.
Obviously we need sodium in our body, but the law of diminishing returns also applies. Dialing in the perfect amount for Ph balance can be a little tricky and no doubt varies from person to person, but I too believe there is some merit to feeding a craving. A craving seems to be your body's way of alerting a deficiency. After a long workout on not enough food, I sometimes crave something like steak and sweet potato. That tells me that I need dense calories with a high saturated fat content, protein, and complex (good) carbs to replenish what was lost.
So if your body is screaming for pickle juice, I say listen to what it is saying!
