Anti-Inflammatory Foods

July 13, 2022

One of the most powerful tools to combat inflammation comes from the grocery store.

Foods that CAUSE inflammation:

1. Added sugars
2. Trans Fats
3. Red and processed meats
4. Refined carbohydrates (highly processed white flour bread and rolls, crackers, sugary cereals, white rice)
5. Omega-6s (canola, corn, safflower, sunflower and peanut oils, mayonnaise)

Foods that FIGHT inflammation:

1. Fresh fruits
2. Leafy greens
3. Extra-virgin olive oil
4. Garlic
5. Turmeric
6. Walnuts
7. Avocados
8. Cinnamon

One of my favorite recipes to help boost your immune system and fight inflammation:

This recipe gets its beautiful yellow color from turmeric, while being packed full of other anti-inflammatory foods such as kale, lemon juice, sweet potatoes, garlic, celery, olive oil and other herbs and spices!  Check out the full recipe here:  https://fedandfit.com/healing-chicken-soup-with-ginger-and-turmeric/
