The Anti-Inflammatory Diet

What is chronic inflammation?

Acute inflammation is a normal body response. But chronic, silent inflammation is linked to many diseases: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, depression. Diet plays a major role in its regulation.

Anti-inflammatory foods

Some foods have scientifically proven anti-inflammatory properties:

• Turmeric: curcumin is a powerful anti-inflammatory
• Berries: rich in anthocyanins
• Fatty fish: omega-3 EPA and DHA
• Leafy greens: spinach, kale, broccoli
• Extra virgin olive oil: anti-inflammatory oleocanthal
• Ginger: anti-inflammatory gingerol and shogaol

Foods to avoid

Conversely, some foods promote inflammation: refined sugars, processed vegetable oils, ultra-processed foods, excess alcohol and grilled red meats.
