Anti-Inflammatory Recipes

If anti-inflammatory eating is going to last, it has to feel like real food, oily fish, legumes, greens, olive oil, herbs and enough flavour to survive ordinary life.

What anti-inflammatory eating usually gets wrong in the real world

The problem is rarely knowing that vegetables, legumes, oily fish and olive oil are useful. The problem is making those meals satisfying enough that you keep choosing them when life is busy and hunger is real.

Colour matters

Berries, greens, herbs, beetroot, aubergine and other colourful plants quietly do a lot of useful work.

Better fats help

Oily fish, olive oil, tahini and nuts or seeds usually fit this goal better than fat-free “health” food.

Comfort still counts

If a meal feels punitive, it becomes a one-off performance, not a repeatable pattern.

Stop chasing one hero ingredient

The overall meal pattern matters more than sprinkling turmeric onto an otherwise chaotic plate.

Make the plate feel generous

Acid, herbs, texture and olive oil make better defaults easier to live with.
