Foods that Fight Inflammation

Chronic inflammation is at the root of most chronic diseases — including heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's and cancer. While diet can help reduce inflammation, it can also contribute to it.

Erin Peisach, a wellness education specialist with Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group in San Diego, explains how to keep inflammation at bay. Avoid or limit refined carbohydrates, fried foods, sugar-sweetened beverages, red meat and saturated fat.

Most oils have high omega 6:3 ratio. For example, grapeseed oil has 697:1 omega 6 3 ratio which is highly inflammatory.

Red meat is only inflammatory based on what they are fed. If they are fed corn or gmo’s then there is mixed studies. Grass fed and no gmo’s then meat is not inflammatory. Same goes for farm raised fish vs wild caught. Farm raised fish eat corn which changes omega 3’s to omega 6’s. Omega 6’s are inflammatory.
PFAS free is important as well!

Good quality pastured grass fed red meat is high in Omega 3 and is not inflammatory, is also nutrient dense

I get crazy getting all the listings of anti inflammatory fruits, seeds, fish, Tec. They contradict each other. Bloggers arttention please. Get your acts together to avoid confusion in your followers. Which is which?😢😢😢😢😢

[Ifailedeverything]

I am surprised oatmeal was not on this list.

[maryamamin]

Fatty fish (twice a week
All the berries

[vapeking]

The issue with red meat organic grass fed and finshed or not is the saturated fat. Its best to only eat in moderation say once maybe twice a week max. Too much saturated fat causes Coronary artery disease.

[evering]

Red meat is not inflammatory if organic and prepared correctly.
Oily fish such as salmon does
Supply Omega 3 but it needs to
be correctly sourced as may contain mercury and arsenic
should be wild and not farmed

[theandersons]

Foods? I can't survive on herbs spices and oil. So I'm able to eat kale fruit and fish. Wow. That sucks.

[jasperburchfield]

I had to give up raw leafy greens, even though they are very healthy, because I suspect they may have been causing sinus inflammation.

I agree with most of what she said except the red meat and saturated fat part. Red meat is okay in moderation, but you want to stick with 100% grass fed which has a higher omega 3 fatty acid profile. It’s the grain fed red meat (factory GMO grain fed cows) that you want to avoid which has a higher Omega 6 fatty acid that causes inflammation. Now on to my beef with what she said about saturated fat. Saturated fat is good for your body, and you want to replace carbs & sugar with saturated fat. The only type of fat you want to avoid is Trans fat, which comes from ALL vegetable oils (canola, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, peanut, and corn) that are all highly processed and GMO. Basically avoid all fried foods going out to eat because all restaurants use these cheap oils to deep fry in. This will 100% cause chronic inflammation within your body.

Nuts??? Man I’m pretty sure cause me inflammation! How is it the other way around!!

"Sugar-sweetened beverages" or sugar and sweetened beverages? Reading the script in a sing-song squeaky voice just adds to the confusion.

[Keyboardwarrior]

Just to clarify, the reason something is anti-inflammatory is because inflammation is heat, and these are eatable highly conductive materials. All fruits and vegetables have huge heat storage capacities, test it out yourself. Place a piece of fruit or something like a cucumber in the fridge for 10min. Then hold it in your hand nd see how long it takes to get warm. You'll be waiting for hours. Just clarifying so that you guys truly understand why certain foods are anti-inflammatory. I wouldn't class grains as anti-inflammatory as they literally have hardly to no heat storage capacity.

[Paradys]

Lots of wrong information. NO seeds, spinach...
