They also feel seasonless: perfect for spring picnics, summer tea parties, autumn lunchboxes, or a cozy winter moment by the fire with a good book and a warm drink.

Inflammation is a natural process that helps the body heal and defend itself. But when inflammation becomes chronic, it can quietly contribute to conditions like arthritis, digestive issues, heart disease, and even low mood. One of the most powerful ways to calm inflammation is through what we put on our plates.

Modern nutritional science and ancient traditions like Ayurveda both highlight the healing power of foods. Ayurveda teaches us to balance the body through elements like warming spices, seasonal fruits, and grounding fats — many of which overlap with what research today confirms as anti-inflammatory. For the most part, I eat seasonal foods and try to source locally as much as possible. While I eat a variety of foods, I do try to keep the majority anti inflammatory.

Here is a list of the top 15 anti-inflammatory foods, with insights from both science and Ayurvedic wisdom.
