According to Professor Howard E. LeWine from Harvard University, who specializes in nutrition and epidemiology, consuming certain foods can improve mental health and reduce the risk of serious diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. The key is to select anti-inflammatory foods that not only boost mood but also enhance quality of life while reducing the risk of disease.
Professor LeWine explains that chronic inflammation is linked to several diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and Alzheimer’s. Therefore, selecting anti-inflammatory foods is crucial in preventing these diseases.
Recommended anti-inflammatory foods include tomatoes, olive oil, green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and collard greens, nuts such as almonds and walnuts, fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna, and sardines, as well as fruits like strawberries
