There are many different diets that can be considered anti-inflammatory diets. This type of diet is often used to prevent many different health issues.
The anti-inflammatory dietary style involves eating foods that reduce inflammation and avoiding foods that can cause inflammation. Since there is no specific definition for "the anti-inflammatory diet", some diets that are called "anti-inflammatory" might not be. However, some researchers have developed a special guide to gauge if a diet has anti-inflammatory properties. This guide can be used to evaluate whether a person's diet is "anti-inflammatory" or "pro-inflammatory."
Anti-inflammatory dietary styles are most commonly used for cancer and heart disease. They are also used for many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support any of its uses.
