5. It’s inclusive, not exclusive.
Traditional diets always talk about what you can’t eat, but when it comes to anti-inflammatory diets, more is more. Colorful foods like leafy greens (spinach, kale), cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower), carotenoids (tomatoes, carrots) and anthocyanins (beets, berries) are all anti-inflammatory staples.
6. You won’t feel hungry.
The plant-based powerhouses known as pulses are an excellent way to incorporate antioxidant- and mineral-rich foods into your everyday life. Dry peas, beans, chickpeas and lentils combine lean protein, unsaturated fats and fiber, filling you up without messing with your diet.
