Here's a brief breakdown of the main ingredients in the recipe from an anti-inflammatory perspective:
Coconut Flour: This is a gluten-free alternative to regular flour, high in fiber and healthy fats, which can be beneficial for an anti-inflammatory diet. However, it's also calorie-dense, so portion control is important.
Coconut Oil: While it contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that may have some health benefits, coconut oil is also high in saturated fat, which could potentially contribute to inflammation if consumed in large amounts.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Some small studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that apple cider vinegar may have health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties.
Egg Whites: Egg whites are a good source of protein and contain no fat, making them a healthy choice for most diets, including anti-inflammatory ones. However, some people with autoimmune conditions might be sensitive to egg whites.
Lemon Juice: Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, lemon juice is considered anti-inflammatory.
Baking Powder & Salt: These are generally neutral but should be used in moderation due to sodium content in salt, which in excess can contribute to inflammation.
