Five everyday habits to curb chronic inflammation, per a Maryland physician
A Maryland physician, Dr. Kunal Sood, outlines five simple habits to naturally lower chronic inflammation: eat fiber-rich whole foods (vegetables, fruits, legumes, oats, nuts, whole grains) to support the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory biomarkers; walk daily to improve insulin sensitivity, circulation, and vascular function; ensure quality sleep to limit inflammatory cytokines; include omega-3–rich foods to regulate inflammatory pathways; and manage chronic stress to avoid activation of inflammatory systems. These practices are linked to lower CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α and may reduce cardiometabolic risk.
