Anti-Inflammatory Powerhouses

Certain foods actively fight inflammation through measurable biochemical mechanisms. Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines) contain EPA and DHA omega-3s that directly inhibit inflammatory enzymes.

Berries contain anthocyanins that reduce inflammatory markers. Turmeric blocks the NF-kB pathway, though absorption is low without black pepper. Green leafy vegetables are packed with antioxidants that neutralize the free radicals driving oxidative stress.
