Overview

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DIET What is an anti-inflammatory diet. An anti-inflammatory diet consists of foods that reduce inflammation and can help with high cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar. Some specific food types with anti-inflammatory or antioxidant properties include omega-3 fatty acids found in fish such as salmon, tuna, and nuts; vitamin C in citrus fruits and vegetables; polyphenols found in berries, dark chocolate, and coffee; and fiber-rich foods such as asparagus and bananas.1   Two commonly considered anti-inflammatory diets are the Mediterranean diet and the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet. Both aim to reduce the amount of processed foods in your diet. The Mediterranean diet is primarily plant-based and consists of vegetables, fruits, fish, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds, eggs, and olive oil. Moderate portions of dairy are included with options such as skim or 1% milk and low-fat Greek or plain yogurt.
