Foods to Eat and Foods to Avoid to Help Inflammation

Our immune systems respond to infection, irritation, and illness by becoming inflamed. Obesity, gum disease, infection, autoimmune disorders, and other toxins in the body are some of the causes of chronic inflammation. Diets high in fat and processed foods cause the body to be constantly inflamed. A healthy diet full of lean proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains can help your body get back to its old self.

Here are a few foods to add to your diet:

1.) Omega 3 fatty acids: salmon, tuna, and olive oil
