Four Anti-Inflammatory Foods
June 15, 2020 at 09:00PM Some inflammation in the body is normal, as inflammation is your body’s immune system working to heal itself and fight against anything that can potentially threaten it, such as infections and injuries. However, excessive inflammation in the body can cause significant pain, as well as gastrointestinal issues, mood fluctuations and other unpleasant side effects. Because inflammation is systemic, it can affect your organs and internal functions, so we always want to manage our levels of inflammation, and keep it under control. The foods we eat can actually impact our inflammatory response, so today I’m sharing four of my favourite foods which can help to reduce inflammation and keep your body feeling fit, healthy and fantastic, and improve your overall health and wellbeing! 1. Fish Oily fish, such as salmon, is super high in omega-3 fatty acids. Research shows that, when adequate amounts are consumed, this helps to reduce inflammation in the body, which could otherwise lead to chronic illnesses including cardiovascular and autoimmune conditions, mood disorders and even cancer. Including fish in your diet regularly is fantastic for managing inflammation, and if you’re not a fan of fish you can also consider including a Fish Oil supplement in your daily routine, such as my Triple-Strength vanilla scented Fish Oil. 2. Turmeric Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory spice, and also a powerful antioxidant, helping to prevent free radicals forming in the body. Studies have shown that Curcumin, the active compound in Turmeric, can help to reduce inflammation
