CHRONIC INFLAMMATION IS LINKED TO CANCER, HEART DISEASE, DIABETES, ARTHRITIS, DEPRESSION & ALZHEIMERS.
Include in your daily eating routine foods WITH ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES to minimise inflammation and decrease the risk of disease.
Drink
Green tea
Green tea’s primary component, epigallocatechin 3- gallate, demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects. Using fresh tea leaves, let the boiled water sit in the kettle for 3 minutes before pouring it onto the tea leaves. Enjoy a cup every day, preferably before 3 pm, as it contains a small amount of caffeine.
SNACK
BERRIES
These antioxidant-rich little fruits contain phenolic compounds, dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals, exerting a protective effect against inflammation. Berries are delicious, eaten on their own, added to a smoothie or enjoyed with yoghurt. Eat in-season berries daily.
Dinner
Salmon and avocado salad
Healthy fats in oily fish such as salmon and avocado are well known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Leafy green vegetables such as rocket also provide nutrients that have anti-inflammatory properties.
