Top Foods for Fighting Inflammation
Whether it’s caused by an injury or an internal issue, inflammation can leave acute and even chronic damage to the body.
Inflammation is your body’s response to an “invader”, which leads to chemicals being released to protect you. Sometimes, ingested foods and environmental pollutants can also cause the body to react and fight against itself, potentially leading to long-lasting health concerns. This can include rheumatoid arthritis, leaky gut syndrome, food allergies, diabetes and more.
Here are some foods to include in your diet that have AMAZING anti-inflammatory affects:
Garlic - it has strong sulfur compounds that can actually reduce inflammation.
Berries - many varieties are very high in anti-oxidants that can help heal oxidative stress caused by inflammation.
Leafy Greens - spinach, kale, chard and more dark green leafy vegetables can help strengthen your liver for detoxification of potentially harmful and inflammatory particles.
Fish, Nuts and Seeds - these foods are high in essential fatty acids (particularly Omega-3) and can strengthen cell membranes to protect them from damage.
Turmeric - this magical root contains curcumin, which is very effective as an anti-inflammatory element that can aid in muscle and joint pain, digestion, nutrient absorption and more.
