If you want to stay healthy now and for the long haul, there’s something critical you need to be paying attention to: inflammation. Inflammation is a key player in almost every chronic disease — the long list includes autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular disease, cancer, hypertension, depression, and diabetes. The signs aren’t always immediately obvious, but if you’re experiencing symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, pain, infections, even skin breakouts and acne, you might be experiencing inflammation (and a test — see more below! — can help you know for sure).
You’re probably wondering, however, what causes inflammation? While the answer is complex and differs from person to person, the culprit is often the food choices we make every day. Learn more about the top 9 foods that contribute to inflammation — and what to eat instead.
