Chronic inflammation is linked to issues like joint pain, fatigue, heart disease, and autoimmune conditions. The good news? Your daily food choices can help calm inflammation and support overall health. Here are three simple, science-backed tips:

1. Eat More Whole Foods

Skip processed foods high in sugar, refined flours, and unhealthy oils. Instead, build meals around whole, nutrient-rich options like leafy greens, whole grains, salmon, nuts, and avocado. These provide antioxidants and compounds that protect your cells and reduce inflammation.

2. Load Up on Colorful Veggies

Vegetables are anti-inflammatory powerhouses. Aim to fill half your plate with a variety of colorful, non-starchy veggies—think spinach, broccoli, bell peppers, and beets. They nourish your gut, strengthen your immune system, and help fight oxidative stress.

3. Go Organic When It Counts

Choose organic animal products to avoid added hormones and antibiotics, and prioritize organic versions of produce on the “Dirty Dozen” list (like strawberries, spinach, and apples). If budget is tight, stick to conventional options from the “Clean Fifteen.”

Bottom line: Small, intentional food swaps—more whole foods, more veggies, and smarter organic choices—can go a long way in lowering inflammation and supporting long-term health.
