Berries
Carrots
Peppers (Cayenne is great!)
Sweet potatoes
High-fiber foods (ex: legumes and whole grains)
Olive oil
Walnuts
Garlic

Avoid foods high in saturated fats such as fried foods and foods with a lot of sugar. Both of these types of food have shown to increase inflammation.

ReplyDeleteThank you for this post
This is a great read as I sit here with another cold from the temperature changes that happen all too frequently here in NC. My 5 yr old son and I are walking time bombs when it comes to getting sick lately:( We do eat peppers,citrus fruits,spinach,garlic and most of those other things as well. I take zinc too. Although this post you wrote is for inflammation,I think health benefits overall of the items you listed above is great:)

ReplyDeleteHow do these interact with blood thinning medications? (Coumadine)
ReplyDeleteJeannie, you would need to speak with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. There might be info online regarding contraindications for specific medications.
DeleteI'm having problems getting rid of inflammation in an injured knee so this is very helpful! Pinning and following you now.
ReplyDeleteFantastic post! I have been on an anti infam diet for about 7 months and it has done what no doctor or medicine was able to!!! Was battling psoriatic arthritis and now I feel great - jogging again and no psoriasis. I also went gluten and refined sugar free. Hope you can stop by the enchanted oven (the irony is not lost on me) and say hi.

Thank you for such great information. I can see some places where I need to make some changes but I have found that eating well can make a world of difference. Two years ago I went off all my prescription meds for fibromyalgia, made some huge modifications in my diet and now only have 3-4 flares total all year long with the flares only lasting a couple of days at the most.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at on Healthy Tuesdays Blog Hop.

Love this info. I have lupus and arthritis in my joints, and I like the fact I can use food to help heal my body, instead of just relying on pain medication to cover the symptoms. Thank you so much for sharing with Saturday Spotlight. Have a great week and come back soon!
