10 Foods That Fight Inflammation
Inflammation Fighting Food #10: Micronutrients
The micronutrients that can help fight inflammation include vitamin D, vitamin E, magnesium, selenium, and zinc. Magnesium is one of the best anti-inflammatory micronutrients as the intake of magnesium has been linked with reduced levels of IL-6, TNF-alpha, and high sensitivity C-reactive protein.
Vitamin D also has anti-inflammatory properties as it helps suppress nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells and prostaglandins. Zinc, selenium, and vitamin E also helps as they act as antioxidants in the body. Some foods rich in these micronutrients include spinach, avocado, and shellfish.
