Many major diseases that plague us—including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and Alzheimer’s—have been linked to chronic inflammation. According to an online article in health.harvard.edu, an anti-inflammatory diet can help you fight off inflammation. One of the most powerful tools to combat inflammation comes not from the pharmacy, but from the grocery store. “Many experimental studies have shown that components of foods or beverages may have anti-inflammatory effects,” says Dr. Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. So what triggers inflammation within the body, and why is it important to reduce inflammation by staying away from the medicine cabinet, and looking in the refrigerator? In this episode, Courtney answers those questions, and gives us some great information about anti-inflammatory foods and diets.
