Basics Regarding Natural Anti Inflammatory Foods

By Kerri Stout


The human body is complex and has a variety of processes. Inflammation is the body's natural response to attack or injury. In many instances, this is considered entirely healthy and normal. There are instances in which inflammation is not helpful and can be quite destructive, especially when the immune system starts to attack itself, which is the case for those with autoimmune diseases. Whole-body inflammation is imperceptible, chronic and low-level, but is known to have serious effects on the body over time. This is why many people are interested in incorporating natural anti inflammatory foods into their diets.

There are plenty of food items that can be used to naturally reduce inflammation in the body. Likewise, there are many things to avoid when on a mission to reduce inflammation, such as foods with high saturated fat and sugar content. Plenty of resources have information on this topic and can be used by those looking to naturally fix this problem.

Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for management of this problem. These are present in salmon, mackerel, sardines, tuna and other fatty fish. For top results, people should eat this a few times per week and prepare it in a healthy way. People who don't like the taste of fish might opt for fish oil supplements, which may be just as effective. Those who have a diet already high in omega-6 fatty acids may find that taking fish oil supplements is not effective and only increases the inflammation.

Whole grains are also helpful for this purpose. While pasta, white bread, cereal and rice can increase this problem, whole grains have fiber that can reduce c-reactive protein. Dark leafy greens include vitamin E, which is beneficial in keeping cytokines at bay. Broccoli, cruciferous vegetables, collard greens and spinach are just some examples of vegetables that have a high concentration of vitamins and minerals that can be incorporated into many recipes to reduce inflammation.

Nuts should be incorporated into the diet of anyone wanting to reduce whole-body inflammation. These are rich in calcium, vitamin E and fiber. These can be beneficial at reducing inflammation and can also be useful at repairing damage brought on by increased inflammation. Some studies have shown that soy can help reduce CRP and inflammation in women. However, it is encouraged to avoid soy that has been heavily processed, which may lack the benefits and have additives.

Dairy is largely recognized as a trigger for inflammation, but low-fit dairy is considered helpful in fighting this. Peppers are another food choice. These, as well as another nightshade vegetable tomatoes can be of benefit to some people with this problem. Tomatoes have a high level of lycopene, which is good for lung inflammation.

Beets are high in antioxidants, which make them great for fighting numerous cancers and diseases. They also have betalains, vitamin C and fiber. Both turmeric and ginger are spices used in the cuisine of Asian and Indian cultures and are known for being anti-inflammatory.

Turmeric contains NF-kappa B. This protein is known for regulating the immune system. Onions and garlic are powerful because they can boost the immune system. Other foods that can be beneficial for this purpose: berries, dark cherries and olive oil.
