Publisher's Synopsis
Introduction:
Inflammation is a natural part of the body's defense system and plays an important role in healing injuries and infections. However, chronic inflammation that persists over a long period of time can lead to a variety of health problems. Chronic inflammation is associated with diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and many others.
The good news is that we can have an impact on inflammation through our diet. An anti-inflammatory diet aims to choose foods that can reduce inflammation in the body and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. This diet is based on abundant consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats and anti-inflammatory spices.
In this book, we will familiarize ourselves with the basics of anti-inflammatory nutrition and learn how it can help us promote our health. We will take a closer look at the effects of inflammation on the body and understand why a targeted change in diet is so important.
