Years of research on the advantages of anti-inflammatory diets have been undertaken by nutrition expert and health advocate Daisy Grey. Her research provide useful understanding of how this kind of diet might boost general health.
“Many chronic diseases originate in inflammation,” Daisy says. “Smart food decisions help us to lower inflammation and promote our long-term health.”
Daisy frequently cites a ground-breaking Harvard Medical School study emphasizing the part omega-3 fatty acids play in lowering inflammation. Rich in omega-3s and found to reduce signs of inflammation in the body, foods including salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds
Her other favorite study is from the Journal of Nutrition, which stresses the anti-inflammatory qualities of fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants. Think berries, spinach, and broccoli, she advises. “These foods combat oxidative stress like powerhouses.”
Supported by National Institutes of Health data, Daisy also suggests including spices like turmeric and ginger. “Turmeric includes curcumin, a chemical having strong anti-inflammatory action,” she says. “Easy ways to get its benefits are adding it to soups, teas, or even smoothies.”
Daisy exhorts everyone to pay attention to whole, unprocessed meals at last. “Your diet can be greatly changed by little adjustments. Eat one meal per day first then expand from there.
