What is the Anti-inflammatory diet?

The anti-inflammatory diet focuses on reducing chronic inflammation in the body, which is linked to various health issues such as autoimmune diseases, heart disease, and diabetes. Key components include:

1. High-Quality Produce: Emphasis is on vegetables over fruits, due to lower sugar content.
2. Healthy Fats: Use olive oil or avocado oil, and avoid pro-inflammatory fats like hydrogenated fats, margarine, and polyunsaturated vegetable oils.
3. Carbohydrates: Reduce consumption of quick-digesting carbohydrates, like those found in foods made with flour and refined sugars. Whole grains in their intact form are preferred.
4. Nuts and Seeds: These are included as beneficial sources of fats and nutrients.
5. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish like sardines, herring, mackerel, and wild salmon, and also available via supplements.
6. Phytonutrients: From colorful plant foods, these compounds are powerful anti-inflammatory agents.
7. Prebiotics and Probiotics: Foods like artichokes, asparagus, kimchi, sauerkraut, and other fermented items support gut health.
8. Herbs and Spices: Particularly turmeric (curcumin), garlic, ginger, rosemary, and oregano are noted for their anti-inflammatory properties.
9. Minimally Processed Foods: Preference is given to whole food forms over processed counterparts 1 2 3 4 5.
