Anti-Inflammatory Foods that Help Balance your Weight
Anti-Inflammatory Foods that Can Help Balance your Weight
Maintaining a healthy and balanced weight is a challenge for many women, especially in America. Equally challenging, is that more and more people are beginning to understand how inflammation is also negatively affecting their lives. Inflammation is an issue that influences the whole body. Many foods have nutrients that can help to moderate it.
Adding certain anti-inflammatory foods to your diet can be a pro-active step towards better health with the right professional management and guidance.
Recommended Anti-Inflammatory Foods
Yogurt
Many people might already know that yogurt is beneficial for promoting healthy intestinal flora. This flora also helps to normalize inflammation.
Fish and nut seeds
Another highly useful compound is Omega-3 fatty acids that are largely found in fish and nut seeds. They “shift prostaglandin synthesis to the more anti-inflammatory kinds.”[1] You can also find some Mor’s Nutrition & More supplements that have a similar effect to tackle inflammation. They should be used under supervision to achieve a better result. Most of the anti-inflammatory foods contain a variety of phytonutrients like bioflavonoids and carotenoids.
Green tea
Green tea is something that a Board certified nutrition specialist Chen Ben Asher suggests to various clients as part of a anti inflammatory diet, it has many positive effects on both inflammation and weight. It is healthier than drinking sodas or other drinks rich in sugar and gases. Green tea has a lot of catechin polymers like epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). These and other superfoods are suggested by “Top 40 Superfoods” found in The Fat Resistance Diet by Leo Galland, M.D. who is another anti-inflammatory diet expert.
Other healthy drinks – juices that are anti-inflammatory foods
- Blueberry juice
- Cherry juice
- Ginger tea
- Pomegranate juice
- Vegetable juice (e.g., carrot or mixed vegetables)
Grapefruits and oranges – anti-inflammatory foods to go
Grapefruits and oranges have citrus flavonoids that are useful.
Dark color fruits
Fruits that have a dark color like cherries, blueberries have a high level of anthocyanidins that can help for inflammation. Even red grapes and red wine in moderation can be good as they contain reservotral. The best way to eat any fruits as if they are fresh and raw because that’s how you can observe more of the healthy ingredients.
Celery and its seed
Useful to know might also be anti–inflammatory foods like celery and its seed as they “contain over 20 anti-inflammatory compounds including apigenin.”[2]
Shouldn’t also forget about the positive influence of some anti-inflammatory foods like blueberries and drinks like green tea on fat burning cells. These products work especially well on fat cells that are in the abdominal area and thus promoting weight loss especially in the body’s midsection. You can also take a look at foods that can cause inflammation and weight gain to understand what you might be doing wrong.

In many cases, inflammation has a connection to it, but an anti-inflammatory diet and other supplements can help. You can also make your own healthy recipes from anti-inflammatory foods.
