Doctors and a Nutritionist Reveal the Top Foods Responsible for Inflammation
I weighed in on this piece about Foods Responsible for Inflammation for The Thirty:
“Inflammation is an immune response when the body thinks that there is a threat,” defines registered dietitian nutritionist Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN of Maya Feller Nutrition…
“Specifically consuming a lot of the most common saturated fats—lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid—are associated with increased risk coronary artery disease (CAD),” says Feller.
What to eat instead: “Swap for moderate amounts of plant-based mono- and polyunsaturated fats, such as nuts, seeds, avocado, and seafood that provide omega-3 and reduce inflammatory markers and risk for CAD,” advises Feller.
