Anti-Inflammatory Diet Center

While there is no scientifically defined protocol for reducing inflammation through diet, there are specific nutrients (vitamin D and omega-3s), food groups—leafy greens, berries, deep orange and dark green veggies—and eating patterns that research associates with having an anti-inflammatory effect in the body.  See our full nutrition parameters. Find recipes, meal plans and nutrition advice for an anti-inflammatory diet from the food and nutrition experts at EatingWell.
