It can impact those with chronic pain such as with arthritis or fibromyalgia and can help you live healthier, longer.

Anti inflammatory foods exist and so do pro inflammatory foods. Choosing the healthier of the two are better for those exercising as well because they can help you recover faster after a workout.
Here is a short list of some of the foods that fit the bill:

-olive oil, coconut oil, flaxseed oil
-lean protein (chicken and fish)
-dark leafy vegetables
-nuts
-berries
-whole grain foods
-red wine or grapes
-green tea
-spices such as ginger, garlic, oregano and cinnamon

Pro inflammatory diets are filled with unhealthy fats, sugar and junk food. It’s more than evident that foods that are generally part of a healthy lifestyle overall can contribute to good health in many different ways.

Eating this way can even be helpful if you’re worried about heredity factors regarding  Alzheimer’s disease.
