ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS:

ELIMINATE THAT PAIN EASILY WITH THESE FOODS FOUND IN YOUR KITCHEN!
Anti-inflammatory foods:

Inflammation is a key aspect of the body’s immune defenses. It can be acute or chronic. Symptoms can include swelling, heat, pain, and more. Treatments can depend on the underlying cause.

The body may send cells to defend against a foreign body, such as a thorn, an irritant, or a pathogen. Pathogens include bacteria, viruses, and other organisms, that cause infections.

An anti-inflammatory diet, along with certain spices, supplements, and lifestyle changes may help boost your defense against health conditions by reducing chronic inflammation also known as Systemic inflammation.

1) Ginger:
Ginger contains more than 100 active compounds, such as gingerol, shogaol, zingiberene, and zingerone, to name a few. These are likely responsible for its health effects, including helping reduce inflammation in the body.

2) Garlic (Allium sativum):
Most of the health benefits of garlic come from its sulfur compounds, such as allicin, diallyl disulfide, and S-allylcysteine, which appear to have anti-inflammatory properties.

3) Tumeric (Curcuma longa):
It’s packed with over 300 active compounds. The main one is an antioxidant called curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

4) Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.):
Research suggests that black pepper and its main active compound piperine may play a role in reducing inflammation in the body.

5) Ginseng is a plant people have used in Asia for thousands of years, treasuring it for its medicinal properties.

Ginseng has been associated with many health benefits, mainly due to its active compounds called ginsenosides. Their effects include reducing signs of inflammation in the body.

6) Green tea:
This plant is packed with healthy compounds called polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). Studies have linked these compounds to benefits for the brain and heart. They may also help people lose body fat and reduce inflammation.

7) Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a delicious, fragrant herb native to the Mediterranean.

Research suggests that rosemary may help reduce inflammation. This is believed to be due to its high content of polyphenols, particularly rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid.
