How to Eat More Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Eating anti-inflammatory isn't difficult, rather it just take mindful tweaks, like making time to grocery shop whole foods rather than fast foods. The goal is to choose more whole and unprocessed foods whenever possible. This includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes. These foods are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help combat inflammation. Also, load up on fruits and vegetables as much as possible (as listed in all of our smoothie recipes) or keep it real simple by following our 30-Day Anti-Inflammatory Meal Plan or any of our 30-Day High-Protein and Nutrient-Dense Meal Plans. Aim to fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables at each meal. Berries, leafy greens, tomatoes, peppers, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and Brussels sprouts are particularly rich in anti-inflammatory compounds. Like any new habit, it'll take an adjustment time, but you will feel the benefits immediately!
