Inflammation is how your body signals the immune system to heal and repair damaged tissue, as well as protect against viruses and bacteria. But sometimes the response goes on too long or happens where it doesn’t need to. Chronic inflammation is linked to heart disease, stroke, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Eating a healthy well-balanced diet can help keep inflammation in check. This week, we’re going to talk about how to fight inflammation with your diet.

Certain foods contain anti-inflammatory components that protect your body against damage caused by inflammation. If you’re struggling with inflammation here’s a guide to fight back. Include as many of these foods in your diet as you can.
