Chronic inflammation can contribute to conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, and cognitive decline. An anti-inflammatory diet emphasizes whole, minimally processed foods that help support overall health. Fill your plate with colourful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats such as olive oil and fatty fish rich in omega-3s. Limit highly processed foods, sugary drinks, refined carbohydrates, and processed meats, which may promote inflammation. Herbs and spices like turmeric and ginger can also add flavour and beneficial plant compounds. Combined with regular physical activity, this eating pattern supports healthy aging and overall well-being.
