Chronic inflammation is associated with some common health problems, from cardiovascular disease and diabetes to joint pain and mood disorders. Fruits can help reduce inflammation because they are rich in antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and plant compounds such as polyphenols that help regulate the body's inflammatory response.
Strawberries
Strawberries contain many polyphenols, especially anthocyanins. These are compounds that create red color and have the ability to inhibit inflammatory enzymes. Adding strawberries to your diet can help improve insulin resistance. This fruit can be used as smoothies, salads, or made into desserts.
Kiwi
Kiwi is rich in vitamin C, polyphenols and flavonoids. These are compounds that positively affect inflammatory reactions in the body.
With just 2 kiwis, the body has received a large amount of vitamin C and fiber. Fiber in kiwis also supports the gut microbiome, helping to improve digestion and reduce inflammation.
Dream
Apricots, whether fresh or dried, provide beta-carotene to help reduce inflammation and support skin, eye and immune health. In addition, flavonoids in apricots help fight free radicals, reduce oxidative stress and limit the risk of chronic diseases.
