Anti-Inflammatory Foods to Include in Your Daily Diet

Chronic inflammation is linked to common health issues like acne, bloating, fatigue, joint pain, hormone imbalances and much more. While short-term inflammation helps the body heal, long-term inflammation can negatively affect your health. One of the most effective ways to support your body is through what you eat.

Here are some everyday anti-inflammatory foods to include in your diet:

Colourful fruits & vegetables

  • Berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) – rich in antioxidants

  • Leafy greens (spinach, kale, rocket) – high in vitamins A, C, and K

  • Sweet potatoes, carrots, tomatoes – loaded with anti-inflammatory nutrients


Healthy fats

  • Avocados – full of fibre and good fats

  • Extra virgin olive oil – contains powerful antioxidants

  • Fatty fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel) – high in omega-3s

  • Nuts and seeds (walnuts, almonds, chia, flax) – support heart and brain health


Herbs and spices

  • Turmeric – curcumin helps reduce inflammation

  • Ginger – supports digestion and the immune system

  • Cinnamon, garlic, rosemary – easy to use in everyday meals


Whole grains and legumes

  • Quinoa, oats, brown rice – great sources of fibre

  • Lentils, chickpeas, black beans – support gut health


Fermented foods

  • Sauerkraut, kimchi, miso – rich in probiotics

Dairy-free yoghurt (coconut, almond, soy) - for some people dairy can be inflammatory, dairy free alternatives are a great option
