A diet rich in certain foods has been shown to improve mental health and reduce the risk of serious diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Professor Howard E. LeWine, an expert in nutrition and epidemiology from Harvard University, has highlighted the connection between chronic inflammation and diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and Alzheimer’s. Choosing anti-inflammatory foods can not only enhance mood but also improve quality of life and reduce the risk of disease. On the other hand, consuming inflammatory foods can worsen 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, tuna
