| | | What to eat and what to limit to relieve inflammation | Your immune system creates inflammation in the body as a defense mechanism. Fun fact: You actually wouldn't be able to heal without it! | While it may protect you from injury and infection, chronic inflammation can ultimately lead to disease. Taking medication may be necessary in some cases. However, following an anti-inflammatory diet may also help. | Here are some of the best foods, drinks, and herbs that can reduce inflammation: | - veggies like broccoli, avocados, peppers, and mushrooms
- healthy fats like extra virgin olive oil, salmon, sardines, and anchovies
- fruits like cherries, berries, and tomatoes (yes, tomatoes are fruit!)
- dark chocolate and cocoa
- tonics like baking soda and water or lemon and turmeric
- herbs like ginger, garlic, and cardamom
| You might also want to limit how often you consume the following inflammatory foods: | - desserts like candy and cake
- ultra-processed meats like hot dogs and bologna
- sugar-sweetened beverages like soda and fruit juice
- refined carbs like white bread and pasta
- processed seed and vegetable oils like corn and soybean
