The occurrence of an inflammatory process in the body can be influenced by a variety of factors. Among them are an unhealthy lifestyle, bad habits, and the environment. Even stress can cause a similar reaction in the body.
Of course, you should solve any health issues that arise with the help of a doctor. As a rule, antibiotics are prescribed to the patient to treat inflammation. But did you know that in case of a minor inflammation you can help yourself?
At least, this is what the adherents of traditional medicine claim. However, it will never be superfluous to learn about the top five products that have an anti-inflammatory effect. Whether to include them in your diet or not is up to you.
Turmeric
Turmeric contains a substance called curcumin, and according to researchers, it can slow down the process of inflammatory reactions. Curcumin also reduces pain caused by a number of diseases, and according to some data, it can even serve as a preventative measure against cancer.
If you want to evaluate the effect of this aromatic spice on yourself, use it in cooking. It is recommended to use turmeric 2-3 times a week. It is worth doing this together with fats or fatty foods.
Matcha
The attractive green drink contains epigallocatechin, an antioxidant that can eliminate or at least reduce inflammation at the cellular level.
It is believed that you should drink two cups of matcha tea per day. By the way, the drink will also be beneficial for those who want to lose weight, as it helps reduce appetite.
Honey
There is probably no point in listing the healing properties of honey once again. We should thank phytoncides, the so-called "natural antibiotics", for this. Their source is flower stalks.
Phytoncides are present in all types of honey. But if you want to get the most benefit, choose dark types of honey.
Ginger
You can eat ginger in any form – both fresh and dried. In both cases, it will provide you with phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and zinc. Ginger also contains vitamins A, B, C.
Here is a recipe for inflammation in the trachea and bronchi: ginger should be crushed, combined with turmeric and consumed with milk.
Pomegranate
Those who enjoy eating pomegranates unknowingly reduce inflammation in the body and slow down the growth of cancer cells. This happens due to isoflavonoids and antioxidants. They serve as a kind of protection for cells from the effects of free radicals.
Be careful with natural pomegranate juice. To prevent the acid in its composition from irritating the gastric mucosa, it is recommended to drink it diluted and little by little.
