Fruit Fighters: 9 Anti-Inflammatory Picks for Better Health

A TODAY health piece explains that chronic inflammation raises risks for heart disease, cancer, and cognitive decline, while fruits—rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, flavonoids, and fiber—can help reduce inflammation. It highlights berries, cherries, grapes, apples, pomegranates, watermelon, citrus, peaches, and pineapple as top choices, notes that whole fruit is generally preferable to juice though 100% juice can still provide anti-inflammatory compounds, and encourages a varied, colorful fruit intake to support a healthy gut and overall inflammation reduction.
