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
