These days we often come across the word ‘Inflammation’ isn’t it!! The biological response of the body tissues to harmful stimuli like pathogens etc is termed as inflammation. Foods that fight against this inflammation are called anti-inflammatory foods. It is said that by intake of certain foods like sugary foods, oily foods etc after we get injured badly the inflammation becomes internal and it might last for longer time periods. Finally chronic inflammation takes place and other important organs like heart, liver etc gets affected.
By intake of these foods we could fight against inflammation.
