While inammation is a
natural protective
mechanism and repair of the
body to overcome tissue
injury, allergy or ongoing
stress, in chronic conditions the body keeps trying unsuccessfully to turn

o the inammation. Chronic inammation is nowadays linked to many

diseases and is known for worsening their symptoms. One explanation is
that inammation causes the process and accelerated aging, as well as
increases the risk of coronary diseases, strokes and cancer. The
inammation causes accelerated erosion and rifts within the body by
increasing oxidative activity.
Sometimes it is not easy to nd all the causes of inammation, but its
easier to use available foods in every home to reduce inammation without
the heavy price the body pays for prolonged use of drugs. You can do this
by making this tea or the smoothie below to add anti-inammatory foods to
your menu.
Berries
Berries contain polyphenol compounds claimed to have anti-inammatory
activity in humans. Among the most notable polyphenols in berries are
anthocyanins, that are responsible for their distinctive colors of red, blue,
and purple. Berries have been studied widely for their antioxidant
properties, and preclinical data suggest important eects on inammatory
processes in the body.
Further reading: You can nd more useful information about berries in my
e-book The Healing Berry Guide which will teach you how to transform
your health with berries.
Dark Leafy Greens
Low magnesium level has been associated with numerous pathological
conditions characterized as having a chronic inammatory stress
component. One of the best food sources for magnesium are dark leafy
greens (like kale and spinach). Kale, spinach and other leafy greens also
have high concentrations of vitamins that ght disease. Specically vitamin
E that has anti-inammatory properties. The other antioxidants that are
found in dark leafy greens are important components of an inammationghting diet.

Ginger
If you suer from arthritis pain in the knees, consuming ginger on a daily
basis can denitely help. Ginger contains powerful anti-inammatory
substances called gingerols. These have been tested in various research of
rheumatic diseases such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. The
participants in the studies reported a gradual reduction of pain, improving
agility and movement and reduction in swelling when using ginger regularly.

Coconut oil
The lauric acid in coconut
oil has anti-inammatory
properties, a study in the
February 2010 issue of
Pharmaceutical Biology
found virgin coconut oil
which is processed at low
heat without chemicals
reduced ear and paw
swelling in rats, while also
inhibiting chronic
inammation. In another
research, researchers
extracted the antioxidants
unique to virgin coconut oil
from the oil and injected them into rats with induced arthritis. They found
that the unique coconut oil antioxidants reduced inammation associated
with arthritis more eectively than current pharmaceutical drugs.

oil.
Chia seeds
These very nutritious seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are
responsible for metabolic processes that help ght inammation. According
to the University of Maryland Medical Center, Research shows that omega-3
fatty acids reduce inammation and may help lower risk of chronic diseases
such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. If you cannot nd chia seeds,
use ground axseed or walnuts instead.
