Growing research, like the 2019 review in Nature Medicine, is linking long-term, chronic inflammation to numerous health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease and arthritis. While genetics plays a role in many of these conditions, increasing foods shown to reduce inflammation and living a healthy lifestyle—like not smoking, getting plenty of quality sleep, reducing stress and exercising regularly—all play a role in reducing inflammation.
In this 30-day meal plan, we map out a month of delicious meals and snacks consisting of natural anti-inflammatory foods to help your body. We capped the calories at 1,500 calories a day, which is a level most people will lose weight following, and also included modifications for 1,200 and 2,000 calories a day, depending on your calorie needs.
It's important to note that healthy weight loss is gradual (about 1 to 2 pounds per week), so if you're feeling hungry at 1,500 calories, bump it up until you feel satisfied and slowly taper down to fewer calories over the next few months.
10 Ways to Reduce Inflammation
What Is the Anti-Inflammatory Diet?
The anti-inflammatory diet is very similar to the Mediterranean diet, which consistently ranks as one of the healthiest diets due to its numerous health benefits. Both the anti-inflammatory diet and the Mediterranean diet emphasize large amounts of antioxidant-rich produce, like berries and dark leafy greens, plus a relatively high intake of healthy fats and seafood, such as salmon and nuts.
The diet limits refined grains, like white bread and white pasta, and high amounts of added sugar and highly processed foods. You won't see a lot of meat, particularly red meat, like beef and pork, but you can expect to see plenty of fish and plant protein, like legumes, nuts and seeds.
Research, like the 2021 review in Biomedicines, concluded that the compounds in an anti-inflammatory diet could help reduce the chronic inflammation that can lead to conditions like cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, or cancer. It's also a generally healthy way of eating that can be beneficial for everyone due to its high amounts of fresh produce, healthy fats and high fiber levels of whole grains and legumes.
Anti-Inflammatory Foods List
- Fruits: While all fruit is good, be sure to eat plenty of fruits rich in anthocyanins, which are found in dark blue, purple and red produce, like cherries, berries, plums and pomegranate. High-fiber fruits, like pears and apples, are great as well!
- Vegetables: The more vegetables the better! Give special attention to dark leafy greens, like spinach and kale, as they are particularly rich in nutrients.
- Whole Grains: Packed with fiber, whole grains like oatmeal, quinoa, whole-wheat pasta and whole-grain bread are included in the anti-inflammatory diet.
- Nuts, Seeds and Healthy Fats: Natural peanut butter and other nut butters, nuts, olive oil, avocado and seeds—including chia and flaxseeds—are staples in this healthy eating plan.
- Fish: Fish, especially salmon, are some of the best anti-inflammatory foods to focus on due to their healthy omega-3 fatty acid content.
- Legumes: Legumes, like beans and lentils, are high in fiber and protein, so they help keep you full plus regulate your digestive system.
How to Follow This Meal Plan for 30 Days
To make this plan more manageable, we break it down week-by-week and include meal-prep tips at the start of each week that we encourage you to follow, as it makes each day a bit easier. With that said, don't be afraid to make swaps. If a recipe calls for peanut butter but you have almond butter in the pantry, feel free to make that swap. The same goes for milk—use the milk of your choice but be aware that with the exception of soy milk, plant milks are much lower in protein than dairy milk.
Feel free to change the meals for specific days based on what you prefer or have in the house. We choose an array of meal options to show some different choices that fit within the anti-inflammatory diet, but if you're someone who finds it easier to have the same breakfast for an entire week, then by all means, please do. In our meal plans, we aim to have a similar calorie range for each meal, which means that you can swap recipes for each meal without changing the calorie levels drastically.
And last but not least, don't feel like you have to follow this meal plan for a full 30 days in order to get the anti-inflammatory effects. Use it as healthy eating inspiration and do what feels good to you—whether it's for one meal or one week!
