Inflammation is your body’s natural response to injury and infection, but chronic inflammation can lead to various health issues. The good news? The foods you eat can help reduce inflammation and support your overall wellness.
1. Fatty Fish
Salmon, mackerel, and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Aim for at least two servings per week.
2. Leafy Greens
Spinach, kale, and Swiss chard are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that combat inflammation. They’re versatile and easy to incorporate into meals.
3. Berries
Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries contain anthocyanins, compounds that reduce inflammation and boost immune function.
4. Turmeric
This golden spice contains curcumin, one of nature’s most potent anti-inflammatory compounds. Add it to soups, smoothies, or golden milk.
5. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Rich in oleocanthal, olive oil has effects similar to ibuprofen. Use it for cooking and in salad dressings.
