how to get rid of inflammation in the body
You can’t see it or feel it, but inflammation may slowly be damaging your body.
Inflammation or swelling, which is part of the body’s natural healing system, helps fight injury and infection. But it doesn’t just happen in response to injury and illness.
An inflammatory response can also occur when the immune system goes into action without an injury or infection to fight. Since there’s nothing to heal, the immune system cells that normally protect us begin to destroy healthy arteries, organs and joints.
Left unchecked, it can contribute to chronic diseases, such as heart disease, blood vessel disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and other conditions.

So What can you do to reduce the risk of chronic inflammation?
You can control — and even reverse — inflammation through a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle.
Follow these six tips for reducing inflammation in your body:
1. Load up on anti-inflammatory foods
Your food choices are just as important as the medications and supplements you may be taking for overall health since they can protect against inflammation. Making good choices in your diet to include fresh vegetables and fruits as well as reducing refined sugar intake can make a big difference.
Eat more fruits and vegetables and foods containing omega-3 fatty acids. Some of the best sources of omega-3s are cold water fish, such as salmon and tuna, and tofu, walnuts, flax seeds and soybeans.
Other anti-inflammatory foods include grapes, celery, blueberries, garlic, olive oil, tea and some spices such as ginger, rosemary and turmeric.
The Mediterranean diet is a perfect example of an anti-inflammatory diet. This is due to its focus on fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains, and limits on unhealthy fats, such as red meat, butter and egg yolks as well as processed and refined sugars and carbs.
2. Cut back or eliminate inflammatory foods
An anti-inflammatory diet also limits foods that promote inflammation.
Inflammatory foods include red meat and anything with trans fats, such as margarine, corn oil, deep fried foods and most processed foods.
3. Control blood sugar
Limit or avoid simple carbohydrates, such as white flour, white rice, refined sugar and anything with high fructose corn syrup.
One easy rule to follow is to avoid white foods, such as white bread, rice and pasta, as well as foods made with white sugar and flour. Build meals around lean proteins and whole foods high in fiber, such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains, such as brown rice and whole wheat bread.
4. Make time to exercise
Regular exercise is an excellent way to prevent inflammation.
Make time for 30 to 45 minutes of aerobic exercise and 10 to 25 minutes of weight or resistance training at least four to five times per week.
5. Lose weight
People who are overweight have more inflammation. Losing weight may decrease inflammation.
6. Manage stress
Chronic stress contributes to inflammation. Use meditation, yoga, biofeedback, guided imagery or some other method to manage stress throughout the day.
You may not be able to change many of the stressful situations you encounter in life, but you can change your response and perception by learning to manage stress better.
It’s important to remember also that measures to reduce inflammation pay off over time with improved heath and reduced risk of chronic disease.
