Anti-Inflammatory Eating Made Easy

Inflammation in the body shows up in the form of aches, pains, digestive distress, skin rashes, and swelling. When these symptoms become chronic, adopting an anti-inflammatory diet could help. In this book by Bastyr University-trained nutritionist, Michelle Babb, makes such a change approachable, understandable, sustainable, and delicious. Inflammation can result from undiagnosed food allergies or an autoimmune condition, or a diet that contains lots of processed foods, sugar, and meat. With a clear explanation of how inflammation works, the author lays out a diet plan that is very easy to follow and maintain–it’s essentially a Mediterranean, or pescatarian, diet that increases the intake of plant-based foods. And the great thing is that with this diet, you never go hungry! Eat as much as you want, as long as half your plate is vegetables and fruit, and the other half is starch and fish. The health improvements can be fast (weeks) once the diet is adopted, and this is a sustainable way to lose weight.
