2. Nightshade Vegetables

If you’ve ever heard of New England Patriot’s quarterback Tom Brady[3], then you probably know about his super strict diet and how it’s kept him playing football for so long.

One of the foods he avoids completely are nightshade vegetables, as they are known to cause inflammation. Examples include eggplant, tomatoes, and peppers (both hot and sweet).

Nightshade vegetables contain alkaloids, which alter the way calcium is metabolized in the body. In higher concentrations, alkaloids cause calcium to deposit in the soft tissues of the body, causing joint pain and inflammation.
