Berries – are full of vitamins and antioxidants called flavonoids that can help fight inflammation; also have chemicals that help regulate your immune system, which can reduce chronic inflammation
Coconut oil – has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and to relieve pain as well
Flaxseed – just 2 tbls of flaxseed contains more than 140% daily value of the inflammation-reducing omega-3 fatty acids and more lignans, a cancer-fighting plant chemical, than any other plant food on the planet
Ginger – has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties that boost your overall immunity
Pineapple – contains fiber, potassium, vitamin C; and bromelain, a protein-digesting enzyme known for its anti-inflammatory properties
