At an age when most of my peers are complaining about daily new aches and pains, I\u2019m in the best physical shape of my life. I keep up with people half my age at the gym, run 5Ks and salsa dance on the reg, and I didn\u2019t even catch a sniffle last cold and flu season.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> What\u2019s my secret? Well, my diet is a big part of it. I have been writing about nutrition for more than two decades and know that the standard American diet significantly contributes to chronic cellular inflammation, a state that has been tied to the development and progression of chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer and dementia.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"1\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme mntl-sc-block-image figure-landscape figure-high-res\"><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption type--mouse figure-article-caption\"> <span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Getty Images<\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Don\u2019t get me wrong, I eat meat, sip the occasional cocktail and never pass up dessert. But I don&#8217;t eat many ultra-processed foods, unlike most American adults, who get more than half of their daily calories from these manufactured edibles.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"2\"\/> Ultra-processed foods are things like fast food, packaged chips, TV dinners and baked goods, and high consumption of them has been linked to a pro-inflammatory state.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"3\"\/> Instead, I make most of my meals and snacks focusing on whole foods and those that are naturally anti-inflammatory. These are my favorites.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-1-coffee\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> 1. Coffee <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> I start every day with espresso with a little milk, and while there is some debate over whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/article\/7962690\/does-coffee-cause-inflammation-what-a-dietitian-has-to-say\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">coffee is anti-inflammatory<\/a>, current evidence seems to point to the benefits of coffee in moderation. Coffee is actually one of the main sources of antioxidants in the diets of most Americans, and those healthy compounds fight free radicals, which contribute to cellular inflammation. Research has even found that frequent coffee drinkers have lower levels of inflammation and may live longer than those who drink less or no coffee.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"4\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-2-garlic\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> 2. Garlic <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> I use fresh garlic in everything, so I\u2019m stocking up weekly. This bulb is well-known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but it can be affected by heat.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"5\"\/> Researchers found that crushing or chopping the cloves activates allicin, the main antioxidant in garlic, so it\u2019s a good idea to prep your garlic and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking to avoid any loss of nutrients.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"6\"\/>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> I like to use a zester to grate garlic into everything from stir-fries to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/recipe\/7887550\/lemon-garlic-vinaigrette\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">salad dressings<\/a> for flavor, but raw garlic is also my answer to a scratchy throat: I simply chop a few cloves, let them sit for 10 minutes, then add a pinch of salt and some extra-virgin olive oil and eat it on a cracker or piece of toast.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-3-extra-virgin-olive-oil\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> 3. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> This Mediterranean Diet staple is my go-to healthy fat for cooking and finishing dishes. It contains oleic acid, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/article\/292278\/is-olive-oil-healthy\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">known to<\/a> inhibit inflammation, as well as 20 other polyphenols, or plant-based antioxidants, which combat inflammation-causing compounds in the blood. Some research has even found that one of these compounds may be as effective as ibuprofen at relieving inflammation.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"7\"\/> I\u2019m a fan of the Lucini brand, but if I can\u2019t find that, I make sure I\u2019m <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/article\/8061120\/how-to-choose-olive-oil-expert-advice\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"2\">choosing an olive oil<\/a> in an opaque bottle, so it\u2019s not degraded by light, and I check the harvest date to make sure it\u2019s recent. EVOO is my primary cooking oil, but I also like to use it in salad dressings, dips, sauces and even baked goods.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-4-walnuts\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> 4. Walnuts <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Nuts are a great snack for so many reasons: They combine protein and fiber and healthy fats in one satisfying little package. I like walnuts because they\u2019re reasonably priced, tasty and contain the most antioxidants of any nut, in particular alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a fatty acid known to reduce inflammation and play a key role in warding off cardiovascular and neurocognitive diseases.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"8\"\/> In addition to enjoying them raw, I like chopping walnuts and adding them to oatmeal, yogurt, salads and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/recipe\/270874\/gluten-free-morning-glory-blender-muffins\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">baked goods<\/a>.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-5-plain-strained-greek-style-yogurt\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> 5. Plain Strained (Greek-Style) Yogurt <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> While a lot of dairy can be pro-inflammatory, fermented products like kefir and yogurt seem to be an exception. A large study found that yogurt fans have fewer biomarkers of chronic inflammation compared to people who don\u2019t eat yogurt.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"9\"\/> Plus, yogurt\u2019s probiotics contribute to a healthy gut, which is tied to overall immunity (around 80% of the body\u2019s immune cells are found in the GI tract).<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"10\"\/> I prefer strained (Greek-style) yogurt for its thicker, creamier consistency and extra protein and enjoy it with fruit, a shake of granola and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. I also use the yogurt as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/recipe\/250944\/yogurt-curry-marinated-chicken-thighs\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">marinade<\/a>, to make salad dressings creamy or as a substitute for sour cream or mayo in pretty much any recipe.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-6-salmon-in-a-can-or-pouch\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_31-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> 6. Salmon in a Can or Pouch <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_32-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Like most Americans, it can be tough for me to get my quota of seafood, a top source of lean protein and anti-inflammatory healthy fats. Also, heart disease runs in my family, and one study found that women in my age range (35-70) who consumed 80 grams of salmon and other fatty fish daily for eight weeks had reduced markers of inflammation.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"11\"\/>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_34-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Canned salmon is a lifesaver because it\u2019s shelf-stable, so you can pop it open and make it into fish cakes, add it to salads or just spread it on crackers for a filling snack. I love the tins of spicy smoked salmon by Fishwife so much that I just eat them plain.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-7-oats\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_38-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> 7. Oats <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_39-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Whole grains like oats contain phenolic compounds, which have anti-inflammatory effects. In fact, one study found that eating oats can lower systemic chronic inflammation in adults who are at risk for cardiovascular disease in as little as two weeks.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"12\"\/> Plus, oats are so versatile: In addition to oatmeal, I use them for homemade granola and add them to smoothies and baked goods for an extra boost of fiber.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/7-anti-inflammatory-foods-that-are-in-my-shopping-cart-every-week-8714126\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m not trying to brag, but I am one of the healthiest people I know.
