Inflammation is a silent root of many health problems — from joint pain and brain fog to digestive issues and weight gain.
Luckily, food can be your best medicine.
Here are the top 5 anti-inflammatory foods you should add to your meals every week:
1. Berries
Rich in antioxidants called anthocyanins, berries help neutralize harmful free radicals that trigger inflammation.
🫐 Try: Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries.
2. Fatty Fish (like Salmon or Sardines)
Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish help reduce systemic inflammation and protect against chronic disease.
🐟 Aim for 2 servings per week.
3. Leafy Greens (Spinach, Kale, Swiss Chard)
High in polyphenols and vitamins that reduce inflammation markers.
🥬 Add to smoothies, salads, or sauté with garlic and olive oil.
4. Turmeric
Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, is one of the most powerful natural anti-inflammatory agents known.
🌿 Boost absorption by combining it with black pepper.
5. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Loaded with healthy monounsaturated fats and anti-inflammatory compounds.
🫒 Use daily in dressings, dips, or for low-heat cooking.
