The Anti- Inflammatory Diet
The Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition Plan Basics
I am so excited to start this journey! The Anti-Inflammaory Plan focuses on a wide range of plant-based foods, accompanied by moderate amounts of whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. This is how I have eaten for years BUT will now be limiting dairy and red meat intake to fully follow this plan.
Nutritionists agree that following an anti-inflammatory plan will reduce inflammation within the body, ensure a robust immune system, and can decrease the risk of developing chronic disorders such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes.
Here are the basic anti-inflammatory diet guidelines:
1. Eat more plants: This includes both vegetables and fruits
2. Discover whole and ancient grains: These whole grains retrain fiber, anti-oxidants, and other nutrients to promote a healthy immune response.
3. Choose healthy fats: Plant-based options like olive oil which contain unsaturated fats that support immunity.
4. Enjoy nuts and seeds: They provide healthy fats and protein, as well as micronutrients and fiber.
5. Herbs and spice: Turmeric, ginger and garlic are anti-inflammatory powerhouses.
6. Support your mircorbiome: High-fiber foods like beans and whole grain and fermented food such a yogurt, kimchi, and pickles help planate your gut bacteria.
