You can very easily put a permanent end to inflammation by following some diet rules, and you will notice the change yourself.
Honey: Whoever has a sweet tooth has now a reason to worship honey. You might know that during the digestion of food some enzymes are used called proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes break down proteins and clear the cellular debris to modulate the inflammatory response. This is how honeybees favor us by preparing honey with their highly enzyme-rich saliva. For digestive purposes, it is better to use raw honey because it is in its purest form.
Yogurt: Yogurt contains good bacteria and therefore they contribute to building a healthy gut and make immune system strong. When food is eaten and enters digestive process then yogurt performs its role and break food into anti-inflammatory fragments which help lower inflammation. Yogurt with low sugar is preferred because they contain probiotics. Presence of probiotics results in effective response to inflammation because it has a tendency to recolonize the good gut bacteria which fight against inflammation in a much efficient way.
Extra Virgin Oils: Extra Virgin oils have a diverse set of benefits. Weight loss, cardiovascular benefits, and anti-inflammatory services are included in the long list of benefits. According to researchers, oleocanthal is found to be the most important component of extra virgin oil. This component provides it the extraordinary tendency. Since extra virgin oil is unrefined and occurs with a high concentration of phenolic compounds, therefore, the oleocanthal is only found in this oil. It has a very significant impact on inflammation. It directly lowers inflammation and also prevents the formation of pro-inflammatory COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. These enzymes cause the inflammation but extra virgin oil, don’t let them function.
Apples: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Well, correct. Apples have been found to have the ability to reduce inflammation. Apples are fruits which have high fiber. This fiber is consumed by gut bacteria and they perform better. If we explain this fact then, according to researchers and studies, it is now known that peels of apple are rich in a natural fiber called pectin. Pectin holds the tendency to accelerate and support the growth of beneficial bacteria of gut, Bifidobacteria, and Lactobacillus.; In addition to pectin, apple peels also contain 10 mg of quercetin which is anti-inflammatory antioxidants.
Blue Berries: Blueberries are rich in flavonoids and anthocyanins. They reduce inflammation by turning off inflammatory responses. Blueberries contain vitamin C and another polyphenol, resveratrol. Their presence decreases the number of free radicals causing inflammation and as a result, inflammation is lowered. You can have a quick breakfast of blueberries in a cereal or have it in the form of juice.
Turmeric: Turmeric is mostly known for its bright yellow-orange color. Ever wondered what gives it this color? Actually, the presence of curcumin gives it the iconic color. But in addition to color giving property, this amazing compound stands out to be an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound.
Inflamation: As mentioned before, inflammation is caused by two pro-inflammatory enzymes called COX-2, and 5-LOX. Curcumin shuts down the pathways for production of these enzymes and the inflammation is unable to take place. Turmeric seems to be a neglected ingredient but it holds immense importance.

Eggs: Don’t underestimate eggs. They are not just your hunger killers at breakfast table but also help you fight inflammation.
Dark chocolate: Chocoholics must be beaming at it. Studies have now found that dark chocolates have the tendency to help fight inflammation.
