What does an anti-inflammatory diet do?
Your immune system becomes activated when your body recognises anything that is foreign—such as an invading microbe, plant pollen, or chemical. This often triggers a process called inflammation. Intermittent bouts of inflammation directed at truly threatening invaders protect your health.
However, sometimes inflammation persists, day in and day out, even when you are not threatened by a foreign invader. That's when inflammation can become your enemy. Many major diseases that plague us—including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and Alzheimer's—have been linked to chronic inflammation.
An anti-inflammatory diet should include these foods:
🍅 tomatoes
🫒 olive oil
🥬 green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, kale, and collards
🥜 nuts like almonds and walnuts
🐠 fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna, and sardines
🍓fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and oranges
