Question

Tamara Freuman, MS, RD, CDN · Answer

I love this question. What anti-inflammatory food? Should we consume daily? If I had to pick one food that consuming daily would probably have the biggest impact on your health. It's got to be beans. And I'll tell you something, when you study, the people who live the longest healthiest lives in the world, these are people who live in the so-called blue zones, these are people who have really high pot countries, where there's really high populations of people who live past age 100 and have super low rates of heart disease. Our diabetes and sort of the chronic diseases that plague Us in the Western World. These people have really different diets, they live, you know, some of them are in Japan and summer in Costa Rica and some are in California, and some are in Greece and some are in Italy. So they're not all eating the same diet, but there's one food that all their diets have in common and that is, they all eat beans, pretty much every day at least a half a cup and so beans are kind of this core foundational food to people who lead these lives. Long healthy lives and that's due partly due to their anti-inflammatory effects, mediated by the high fiber content. But also because beans are really terrific source of certain phytonutrients that are anti-inflammatory like certain antioxidants and so beans are kind of like a double whammy in terms of being anti-inflammatory. There's also been some studies looking at the longest living populations in Western countries including Sweden and Australia. And we also see that legumes beans and legumes Those are the one food that are specifically correlated with longevity in a dose-dependent way meaning that you can track the likelihood that someone is going to live longer with how much beans they eat on a day-to-day basis. So, bottom line, if you want to think about one food to eat daily, that could have a really big impact on anti-inflammation for me, that's beans.

What anti-inflammatory foods should we consume daily? Well, the biggest thing is to remove inflammatory foods from your diet and the most important ones that I like to avoid our anything fried and also things that have rancid oils in them. So, things like vegetable oils, most vegetable oil, stick to traditional fats that have been used for centuries, like, like, Sesame in Asia and like, olive oil and in the Middle East and be With those even because you do need to get a very, very high source. Good. Good source, quick quality Source because you don't get a good quality Source. Those can also be inflammatory. For olive oil. I recommend going to the California Olive Oil, Council website. And there you'll find a list of California, olive oils that if they are certified. There is no question that there are going to be good. And then I go by the acronym G bombs, which is from Joel Fuhrman, that I mentioned in another video. If you don't know, Joel, Fuhrman, definitely worth checking out his books. G bomb stands for greens. Beans onions, mushrooms berries and seeds again. That's greens. Beans, onions, mushrooms, berries and seeds and those are the most anti inflammatory foods that you should actually consume daily.

What anti-inflammatory foods should we consume daily? Well, I'll give you a general answer. All fruits, all vegetables, all nuts, all seeds have a high level of anti-inflammatories, natural anti-inflammatories in them. And I can see no problem whatsoever about recommending consuming those on a daily basis. There's also a food that I consume on a daily basis that you can consume no matter what your diet is, and that's extra virgin olive oil. It's probably the most medicinal food on the planet, or certainly one of the top fives. And it's anti-inflammatory, it's healthy on a dozen different levels, and you can drink it right out of the bottle. You can add it to stuff, you can just make sure that you're getting, you know, four tablespoons a day of it. And that will go a long way towards reducing inflammation. Of course, fish oil and wild-caught fish like salmon and even anchovies and sardines, those are very anti-inflammatory foods, and I think they should be incorporated in everybody's diet.

Well Lane. Great question. What anti-inflammatory food? Should we consume? Daily, fantastic! We should actually try to aim for at least, in my opinion, personal and professional opinion. Three to four servings of these a day. So, these are things like fatty fish, like your salmon berries. So we've got blueberries, any type of olive oil, extra virgin, olive oil and then spices. So, spices also reduce inflammation, especially turmeric. So those are just a quick handful of anti-inflammatory foods that you you can include throughout your day.

So the question is, what anti-inflammatory foods should we consume on a daily basis? I would say hands down fruits and vegetables. A wide variety of fruits and vegetables should be included in everyone's daily diet. When we're talking about anti-inflammatory benefits, I would focus on a variety of leafy greens, so spinach, kale, Swiss chard, romaine. I'd also focus on a variety of berries for their anti-inflammatory benefits, so strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries. Other anti-inflammatory foods to include in your diet, nuts, seeds, a variety of spices, omega-3s, all great options to add to your diet for anti-inflammatory benefits.
