Feeling Bloated, Tired, or Achy More Often Than Usual?

If your body constantly feels "off," but blood tests say you're fine, chronic inflammation could be the missing piece. From digestive issues to joint pain and brain fog, low-grade inflammation affects nearly every system in the body—and you may not even know it.

A few years ago, I felt sluggish no matter how well I slept. Once I discovered the anti-inflammatory approach to eating, everything from my skin to my energy improved.

Why the Anti-Inflammatory Diet Is Everywhere Right Now:

• Rising awareness of inflammation's link to chronic disease and aging

• More people are seeking food-first, natural ways to manage discomfort

• It's not a "diet" in the trendy sense—it's a long-term, nourishing lifestyle

You might have wondered…

• "Do I have inflammation and not know it?"

• "Can what I eat really affect how I feel?"

What Makes a Diet Anti-Inflammatory?

Whole, unprocessed foods are key: Think colorful fruits, vegetables, and omega-3-rich fats

Ditch the sugar and seed oils: These drive inflammation over time

Gut health matters: A happy gut equals lower inflammation

Consistency trumps perfection: It's about what you eat most of the time

What to Eat (and Avoid) on an Anti-Inflammatory Diet
