Research has shown that an anti-inflammatory diet can help reduce psoriasis flare-ups. Less processed foods retain fiber and nutrients.
Inflammation can be the root cause of numerous health issues, such as autoimmune diseases where the immune system targets healthy body tissues. The exact reasons behind this phenomenon remain unclear. Persistent inflammation in psoriasis leads to skin damage and can also affect nails and joints.
An anti-inflammatory diet emphasizes on foods known to reduce inflammation in your body. These foods are usually minimally processed and are closer to their natural state. They preserve higher levels of fiber and antioxidants than heavily processed alternatives.
Elements such as unprocessed and natural fats, fiber, and antioxidants are all part of an anti-inflammatory diet. Here are 4 recipes that are part of a nutritious, well-balanced diet.
