Eating the right foods to calm inflammation

healthy diet

VA News – When faced with an injury or illness, the immune system activates and starts the healing process by sending extra blood with nutrients and immune cells to the affected area. That’s inflammation working to protect your body.

The standard American diet is typically high in saturated fats, omega-6 fatty acids and refined carbohydrates. These can contribute to chronic inflammation over time. Moving toward an anti-inflammatory diet is one way to start calming inflammation.
