The Louwen diet is a special form of nutrition that is primarily used in the last six weeks of pregnancy. On the one hand, it is based on foods with a low glycemic index in order to avoid blood sugar fluctuations before birth. On the one hand, it's about cutting out certain carbohydrates during pregnancy and even not eating any at all in the last 6 weeks mentioned.

Inflammation in the body can have various causes and is generally not a bad thing. However, they always need an antagonist to inhibit the inflammation.
