Professor Guo Haiying, director of the Department of Health and Rehabilitation at Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that both omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil and compounds in condiments have significant anti-inflammatory properties. The antioxidants in ginger have dementia-preventing properties. Prof. Haiying Guo explains that anti-inflammatory recipes can be selected and combined from the following foods Brightly colored fruits, such as red apples, yellow bananas and blueberries; whole grain foods, such as brown rice, oatmeal and whole wheat bread; beans and legumes, such as peas and lentils; tofu and soy milk; dark chocolate; garlic, ginger and ginger; grape skins, red wine and pomegranate juice. Dr. Zhang Ming, chief physician of Nanjing Hospital of Integrative Medicine, said that many diseases are related to the “inflammation” in the body, such as heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Even minor inflammation that occurs in the walls of blood vessels can cause unnoticeable damage to the body. While antioxidants help protect against such damage, they are often not enough to fight inflammation. The body’s attempts to repair damaged areas on its own can cause long-term inflammation in the body, which in turn can erode healthy cells in the joints, arteries and brain, making people sick. Eating the foods in the “Anti-Inflammatory Cookbook” is one way to combat inflammation in these diseases.
