Inflammation can be a good thing, signaling your body’s attempt to fight off infection or heal an injury. But when inflammatory cells soldier forth when you’re not sick or injured, chronic inflammation can ensue, contributing to obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and even autoimmune disease and cancer. The good-no, great-news is that the foods you eat can have a dramatic effect on inflammation in your body, helping not only to prevent it, but to fight it if it’s already started. Join Dr. Katsumoto as she discusses how foods can be anti-inflammatory-and how the ones you choose can also help the planet.
