Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Inflammation is the body’s response to infection and injury. It helps the body heal, but you can have too much of a good thing. Chronic inflammation is bad and can play a role in a variety of conditions. These include arthritis, asthma, and weight gain. Research has found that diet can play a role in inflammation. Here is a list of foods that are good at fighting inflammation.

• Berries
• Fatty Fish (salmon, sardines, etc.)
• Broccoli
• Grapes
• Mushrooms
• Green Tea
• Turmeric
• Dark Chocolate (in moderation)
• Cherries

There is a large body of scientific evidence supporting specific foods and their anti-inflammatory properties. Just remember, inflammation, in general, is not the enemy. Chronic inflammation is.
