Publisher's Synopsis
Do you want to reduce or prevent inflammation? Are you looking for a way to reduce the symptoms of chronic inflammatory disorders? If yes, then keep reading!
The anti-inflammatory diet reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. It typically consists of whole vegetables, fish, nuts, seeds, and other plant foods such as fruits, beans, and legumes. In addition to falling inflammation, it can also reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, or neurodegenerative diseases.
The main dietary sources of inflammation are food-derived saturated and trans fats, refined carbohydrates, and sugar. The consumption of these foods in the human diet has been linked to the development of inflammatory diseases. Some foods contain chemicals known as phytochemicals that have anti-inflammatory properties. Phytochemicals with well-established anti-inflammatory benefits include resveratrol, curcumin, quercetin, and genistein.
The anti-inflammatory diet, as expected, emphasizes nutrient-dense plant foods while limiting or avoiding processed meats and foods. An anti-inflammation diet aims to reduce inflammatory responses as much as possible. The diet calls for complete, nutrient-dense foods to be substituted for refined meals. Antioxidants, which are reactive chemicals in food that help reduce the number of free radicals, are more abundant in an anti-inflammation diet. Free radicals are chemicals found in the human body that have the potential to destroy cells and raise the risk of developing certain diseases.
