Anti-Inflammatory Diet

The anti-inflammatory diet follows the principle that everything you eat can affect your chronic pain symptoms. By manipulating your diet, you may be able to reduce pain from arthritis, lupus, and other autoimmune inflammatory disorders.

Proponents of this diet say that by changing the types of fats you eat from bad fats (saturated, polyunsaturated, trans fats) to healthier ones (monounsaturated, Omega-3 fats) it increases hormones in the body that have an anti-inflammatory response. They say you should replace the margarine you’ve been cooking with…most margarines contain trans fat. Olive oil will boost your omega-3 levels. In addition, supporters of this plan claim that it will assist with weight loss.

Certain spices may also have an anti-inflammatory benefit. Ginger and turmeric, two staples of Indian and Oriental cuisine, are two examples. In addition, certain fruits and vegetables have anti-inflammatory qualities, such as berries, mango, apples, broccoli, kale, and squash. Some vegetables belonging to the nightshade family have an alkaloid called solanine. This chemical found in potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplant may actually worsen inflammation, although this has not been proven.

Increasing your intake of fiber by adding unprocessed grains and legumes is also recommended. You may find that by changing your diet to improve your symptoms, you also lose weight and lower your cholesterol!
