Inflammation Fighting Food #3: Fiber

Dietary fiber is the part of the plant that cannot be broken down completely by human digestive enzymes. It can be divided into soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and is easily fermented into gases by gut bacteria. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water and provides bulking, absorbs water, and helps ease defecation.

Fiber can help fight inflammation as a high intake of both soluble and insoluble fiber helps to reduce levels of TNF alpha and IL-6. Besides being available in food, there are also fiber supplements that are readily available in stores.
