The Anti-Inflammatory Plate
No single food heals inflammation — but a steady pattern lowers it. Build each plate around:
- Half color — vegetables and fruit, the deeper the better.
- A quarter protein — fish, legumes, eggs, poultry, tofu.
- A quarter smart carbs — whole grains, sweet potato, beans.
- Add anti-inflammatory fats — olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds.
- Flavor with spices — turmeric, ginger, garlic, cinnamon.
Crowd out the inflammatory triggers (added sugar, fried food, excess alcohol) rather than banning foods.
Not medical advice — this is general guidance, not a meal plan for a specific condition.
