Best and Worst Foods for Inflammation
Best:
Beans
Fiber-rich diets reduce blood sugar increases that overproduce free radicals that release inflammatory messages.
Avocado
Avocados include inflammation-fighting carotenoids, heart-healthy monosaturated fats, and free radical-fighting vitami
ns A and E.
Sweet Potato
Replace normal potatoes with sweet potatoes. Its rich orange hue suggests that it contains polyphenols.
Citrus Fruit
Polyphenols in citrus fruits may "turn off" inflammation. Flavanones boost immunity and reduce inflammation.
Leafy Greens
Carotenoids and vitamins A, C, E, and K in these veggies may minimize the risk of stomach, breast, and skin cancers an
d heart disease.
Nuts
Protein in nuts stabilizes blood sugar, limiting insulin release and free radical production.
Fatty Fish
Salmon, tuna, and herring are omega-3-rich. Polyunsaturated fatty acids block inflammation-causing chemicals.
Berries
Berries are rich in anthocyanins, which may lower inflammation and boost brainpower.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes include vitamin C and lycopene. Lycopene lowers heart disease and cancer risk.
Coffee or Tea
Green, black, white, and oolong teas contain polyphenols. Antioxidants in coffee protect cells.
Apples
Apples have flavanols and anthocyanins. Eat the peel, which provides gut-healthy fiber.
