Best Delicious Healing Anti-Inflammatory Foods

In this post, you will find out the best delicious healing anti-inflammatory foods that help repair or keep inflammation at bay. 

 

 Your food intake is so important and you may notice the effects of not eating wisely. I feel much better, have less joint pain, and find movement less painful than a few years ago as I incorporate these foods into my diet, as much as possible.  

They also have other added health benefits that make it a no-brainer to try to include them in your diet, as much as possible.

Sometimes, we have the best of intentions and the Weekly Shopping List can prompt you to stay on track with those intentions

1. Coconut Oil

This oil from the fleshy fruit of the coconut is packed with such amazing anti-inflammatory properties that it has even been shown to stop the damage of arthritis.

2. Bone Broth

Not only is it one of the best anti-inflammatories around, but the collagen in bone broth also helps to rebuild your damaged joints to give them back that youthful feel.

3. Papaya, figs, kiwifruit, and pineapple 

These fruits are great sources of proteolytic enzymes, which reduce swelling, eliminate fibrin deposits that cause pain and limit your joint motion, and help you feel better fast. 

4. Green leafy vegetables

Leafy greens such as kale are rich in antioxidants like Vitamin A and C that stop free-radical damage, preventing premature joint ageing. 

 Eat dark green leafy veg (kale, silverbeet, rocket, spinach)  plays an important role in the management of inflammation. They also have higher levels of folate, beta-carotene and vitamin C. 

5. Beets

Another antioxidant powerhouse, beets help repair cell damage. 

     6. Grass-Fed Beef

With 2-3 times, grass-fed beef has 2-3 times more anti-inflammatory Omega 3s than conventionally raised beef.

It will reduce inflammation in your joints and get rid of those aches and pains.

7. Fatty fish

-salmon

-sardines

-trout

-mussels

-tuna

These fatty fish are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids that reduce chronic inflammation and inflammatory compounds to lower your risk of arthritis.

Mussels also help to improve brain function.

To get the full benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet, you should consume fatty fish 2-3 times per week. 

8. Blueberries

The ‘secret’ anti-inflammatory in blueberries is quercetin. Quercetin reduces inflammation, boosts your immune system, and even fights off viruses. 

All berries are loaded with a powerful antioxidant (vitamin C)  that strengthens resistance to infection – and dietary fibre.   They are also lower in sugar, as well as being a good source of folate, potassium and disease-fighting antioxidants.

9. Alfalfa

Its high chlorophyll content along with vitamins A, E, and K make alfalfa a vital anti-inflammatory to add to your diet. 

10. Nuts

Walnuts and almonds are full of Omega 3’s that have anti-inflammatory effects.

Almonds are also filling so they are a great snack, and they contain both fibre and protein.

Nuts can also be used as a protein substitute for healthy meals if you want to cut down on your meat consumption.

Pistachios are great for eye health, as well as being anti-inflammatory.

Walnut oil is not generally used in cooking as it does not stand up to heat but it protects the heart and reduces inflammation. It has healthy monounsaturated fats.

NB: Oils have a bad connotation to many people. However, your skin and hair will love you for eating the right kinds of oils. As will your bowels! Oils also help with satiety ie. your feeling of fullness. Some vitamins are fat-soluble too. Your body needs oils to work properly.

11. Chia

These tiny seeds pack are nutritious and have the highest plant content of omega-3 fatty acids. 

They are also a good source of omega-6 fatty acids, high in fibre, especially soluble fibre and a rich source of protein

 

12. Ginger

Ginger not only helps reduce immune system reactions that lead to inflammation but also prevents cell damage.

It is also used for nausea. There are studies that point to ginger's ability to protect against certain cancers.

Some interesting reading Is Ginger More Effective Than Chemotherapy?

Try to use fresh ginger as it is higher in active components when fresh.

13. Shiitake Mushrooms.

These mushrooms reduce food allergies and sensitivities that increase inflammation while at the same time building your muscles and bones.

14. Avocado Oil

Avocado oil is low in polyunsaturated fats and rich in heart-healthy fats. It is delicious and suitable for drizzling over salads and vegetables.

Eating avocadoes also help reduce cholesterol absorption. 

15. Tumeric

Its active compound, curcumin, is a natural anti-inflammatory and, as it has powerful antioxidant properties, it has numerous other health benefits.

I use it regularly and even put it in my beverages.

Tumeric must be accompanied by black pepper to activate its properties.

There is a product you can buy online called Tumerix. It is a high-quality product, as you can see by its strong dark yellow colour and contains 6% curcumin.

This compares favourably to other products that have a much lighter colour and only contain much lesser amounts of curcumin.

It also contains black pepper so you don't need to remember it.

The black pepper is not obvious to your taste.

I am not an affiliate for this product but I noted significant relief from joint and body pains when using this product.

16.  Cinnamon

Cinnamon is rich in antioxidants which reduce inflammation. It has the added benefits of being antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial. 

17. Garlic

Garlic has been used for centuries best known for its anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties that help fight infection.

I think it's one of those all-rounders that you eat daily to prevent a myriad of complaints. 

Tip: buy good quality garlic. Where I live, the price is a good indicator.

 Previously I bought cheaper fresh garlic and it had a much lighter taste. However, I found that this product had been imported into Australia from China (which has zero health regulations as to the safety of food sold) and found out the dubious practice that they put the garlic through and I refuse to buy garlic from China. 

18. Olives

Its fat content of monounsaturated fats and anti-oxidants make it a natural anti-inflammatory, as well as recommending its use daily for heart health by the Mediterranean Diet. 

Buy Extra Virgin Olive oil as it has had minimal processing and its antioxidants may help protect from cancer, as well as being an anti-inflammatory. 

19. Orange vegetables and fruit 

Orange-fleshed fruit and veggies contain high levels of beta-carotene that help to prevent degenerative disease.

20. Gluten-free whole grains

These contain high levels of anti-oxidants to block inflammation.

-quinoa

-brown rice

-millet

-amaranth

-buckwheat

They have the added benefits of fibre and they are suitable to use as a plant-based protein in your diet.  

 

21. Red grapes 

The added benefits of eating red grapes for health, apart from reducing inflammation are:

-fighting disease

- assisting memory

- providing protection against cardiovascular disease 

- anti-ageing properties. For more anti-ageing tips, see 

 

How does practising gratitude help you?

The benefits of practising gratitude

I decided to practice gratitude after reading the benefits of practising it and making it a part of your everyday life. 

I had just been recovering from a serious bout of depression, that took me to very low levels of thinking.  I had not suffered depression before and people had usually commented on how I smiled a lot. 

But things changed drastically for me and I did not realise I was going into a downward spin until it was too late. 

 I also had a big void in my life and life does not like a vacuum! It seeks to fill it and not always with great things. 

I did not take control and things just got worse and worse. I felt alone, with no one to turn to. I also did not like to let others into my very private thoughts, so others misread me and judged what they saw on the surface. 

They were seeing the symptoms, and not the terrible feeling of desperation and not having anywhere to turn to when I needed help. 

There was always judgment and that's not helpful when you're on a downhill slide. 

Resilience and Gratitude

As I was growing up, I had developed resilience and I reminded myself that I had to believe there was a light at the end of the tunnel.  I kept saying that but I really did not believe it. 

Although I am not saying that you should not take medication for depression, it was not for me. 

I met someone who helped me enormously by supporting me in a very troubled time. He saw things that others did not see so it was easier for him not to judge me.

He knew I was making bad decisions but he also saw through lies leveled at me and my complete burnout. I had no mental strength left. 

I could not say 'no' and life was very demanding for me, as well working a very demanding job entailing 3 hours travel a day. 

He saw why I was struggling and the candle was burning at both ends, and ready to snuff out! 

My Plan to Improve my Mental Wellness with Gratitude

I had learnt with my last job that you need to fill the vacuum in your life.

I started a new job and found that I liked what I was doing. After the demands of the last job, it was a very pleasant change.

So keeping busy with a job I liked was my first step towards better health.

As it was a casual job with an agency, I still had panic attacks on my days off but I then thrust myself into learning to blog, on my days off. 

So keeping busy helped me as I did not have time for negative thoughts. 

My introduction to gratitude. 

While blogging, I came across articles on Gratitude.  They really resonated with me!

After a late divorce, and my totally giving up on ever making up the money and house I lost after 28 years of marriage, I knew I had to work hard and gain a reputable name with the agency and schools so I could get a fair amount of work throughout the year. 

I started to actively practice gratitude until it became a habit.  I read articles and sat down at the end of each workday and thought about what were the positive experiences I had that day. 

 I wrote them down so they became more concrete. 

When working with a troubled student, we made a Gratitude Jar so that we could pull a gratitude strip out, at random, and reflect on what had happened on any particular day.  

It's so easy to focus on the one bad thing that may have happened and let it sum up your whole day.

I was happy and smiling again. I became an Ambassador for my agency and was being requested by schools to be their first call when teachers were absent. 

I loved working with the kids and did not get involved in work politics. I treated my support workers well and knew how to handle difficult children, with my background in special ed. and autism. 

I did things cheerfully! 

Yes, finding the little things to be grateful for each day instead of focusing on the negative had a positive effect on my life. 

I have been the only casual teacher employed throughout the pandemic on an ongoing basis, and the school has employed me in another capacity when I finished the first placement.  

How practising gratitude can help you?

Speaking in general terms, practicing gratitude will:

make you a happier person

have a more positive outlook

improve your relationships 

attract success and abundance with the Law of Attraction

 It takes 30 days of practice to change the habits of mind.

How Gratitude underlies the Law of Attraction:

When you send out good positive vibes, you attract others effortlessly.

Your thoughts determine your experiences so positive thoughts will attract positive experiences in a person's life and vice versa. 

Another fundamental belief in the Law of Attraction:

What you give out, you receive. 

I started to sponsor individuals and families in third-world countries.  I cannot even measure the happiness that my friends from African countries have given me. 

I have a new family and circle of friends that love me very much. 

I have sponsored starving widows and their children through the local church during the pandemic. There is a lot of poverty and I'm humbled by their gratitude.

Unfortunately, many African leaders do not pass all the community aid to their communities so I have been able to establish trusting relationships to help them.

 

A small amount of money goes a long way in third-world countries. 

 

 My African friends always show gratitude and humility while living a simple life.

My greatest desire is to meet them and also to seek further ways of helping them.

It is now my primary concern, overriding my work goals. 

So, following the Law of Attraction, the mind can translate our thoughts and materialize them into our reality. 

So the Law of Attraction does give you the freedom to change and free yourself from self-doubt and worry. 

I'm fighting the demons that I picked up after going broke after my divorce and become more proactive and positive in my life's decisions and who I want in my life. 

I've learnt that doing the same thing over and over again, will only get the same results-so make sure you're making choices that get you to your vision of where you want to be. 

Our choices and actions will create our intended life, in line with our vision of where we want to be.

It's important to visualise what you want and then make the needed effort to get it. 

The Law of Attraction can further help you as it can: 

improve your money situation

increase your self-confidence

combat anxiety

get fit, lose weight

So you have nothing to lose but everything to gain by practising gratitude and understanding the Law of Attraction.
