Anti-Inflammatory Foods

To reduce levels of #inflammation, aim for an overall healthy diet. If you're looking for an eating plan that closely follows the tenets of anti-inflammatory eating, consider the Mediterranean diet, which is high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, fish, and healthy oils. Also, include more anti-inflammatory foods into your diet and avoid/limit foods that cause inflammation.


Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Berries


Berries are high in antioxidants like anthocyanins, which may protect your cells from free radical damage.


Fatty fish


Fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna, and sardines are good for you. Fish is a good source of protein and, compare to fatty meat products, it's not high in saturated fat. Fish is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for your heart. Research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.


Cruciferous Vegetables


Cruciferous vegetables are low-calorie, and rich in folate, vitamins C, E, and K, and fiber. Fiber is an important nutrient to incorporate if weight loss is the goal, as it helps keep you fuller longer. (Source: healthline)

Grapes


Resveratrol is a key nutrient in #grapes that may offer health benefits. It may help protect against cancer, eye problems, cardiovascular disease, and other health conditions.


Tomatoes
