Two Quick Flags to Identify Anti-Inflammatory Foods, According to Dietitians
Experts say to identify anti-inflammatory foods by choosing whole, minimally processed options—especially dark-colored produce rich in phytonutrients like blueberries, beets, and purple cabbage.

A simple starter: berries; also limit alcohol and ultraprocessed foods and boost omega-3 intake for ongoing anti-inflammatory benefits.
