Fatty Fish

Fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats can reduce inflammation and swelling.

Nuts and Seeds

Almonds, walnuts, and flaxseeds contain omega-3s and other nutrients that can help with inflammation.

Turmeric and Ginger

These spices have natural anti-inflammatory compounds. Adding them to your meals or drinking turmeric or ginger tea can be soothing for swelling.

Green Tea

Green tea is loaded with antioxidants called catechins, which can reduce inflammation.

Whole Grains

Foods like brown rice, quinoa, and oats are high in fiber and can help control blood sugar levels, which in turn can reduce inflammation.

Herbs

Herbs like garlic and cinnamon have anti-inflammatory properties and can be added to your dishes.

Pineapple

Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain, which can reduce swelling and inflammation.

Cherries

Cherries contain compounds that may help reduce inflammation and ease swelling, especially in conditions like arthritis.

Water

Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water can help flush out toxins and reduce swelling.
