Vegetables
Most of us eat rice, roti or chapati predominantly and eat a small portion of vegetables. But it would be healthy to eat vegetables more. Eating them raw or cooking them slightly may help. Cabbage, broccoli, spinach, carrots, peas, onions and beets are good. Ensure that 50% of every major meal consists of veggies.
Fruits
Fruits contain flavonoids and carotenoids. Most of them contain antioxidants and also anti-inflammatory agents. Grapes, oranges, peaches, strawberries, blue berries, raspberries, apples, pears, pomegranates and peaches are good. To avoid the sugar overload, eat fruits moderately.
Fats
Your body needs some fat too. Your salads can include olive oil (extra virgin) as it contains anti-oxidants. For your cooking purposes, you can try using coconut oil as it doesn't change much after heating.
Nuts
Walnuts, almonds, flax seeds and avocados are good. Snack on nuts and seeds instead of eating burgers that offer useless calories.
Seafood
If you love seafood, enjoy sardines and salmon. They are rich in omega 3 fatty acids and can minimise inflammation in your body. If you love chicken or lamb, ensure that you choose organic ones. Also, eggs of organic-fed hens are healthier than eggs of barn-raised hens.
Herbs And Spices
Ginger, turmeric and cinnamon are the main players. Ginger and turmeric have anti-inflammatory and anti microbial properties. Cinnamon is good for blood sugar. Also, use garlic, rosemary and basil.
Legumes
They contain soluble fibre, potassium, magnesium and also folic acid. Enjoy them regularly in your recipes.
