Eating a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods can significantly improve mental health and reduce the risk of serious diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. According to Professor Howard E. LeWine from Harvard University, who specializes in nutrition and epidemiology, chronic inflammation is linked to various diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and Alzheimer’s. Therefore, selecting anti-inflammatory foods not only boosts mood but also improves quality of life while reducing the risk of disease. In contrast, consuming inflammatory foods can accelerate the disease process and should be limited or avoided.

Recommended anti-inflammatory foods include tomatoes, olive oil, green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and collard greens, nuts such as almonds and walnuts, fatty fish like salmon, mackerel
