Think of a swollen sprained ankle, a stinging cut finger, or a throbbing head cold. Inflammation makes its presence unmistakably known. This form of inflammation, called acute inflammation, is a beneficial and necessary part of our immune system. While it’s important to speak to your doctor before making any major dietary or lifestyle changes, there are a few simple, and natural ways to manage inflammation daily. Drinking an adequate amount of water promotes elimination (aka urine and digestion), which can aid in managing inflammation. Here: how much water you should really drink in a day. Note: natural sugars, like those from fresh or dehydrated fruits, don’t have the same kind of effect. To add more fiber to your diet, opt for whole grains such as whole oats, brown rice, or quinoa, and eat plenty of high-fiber veggies and fruits. If you’re not getting enough probiotics through your nutrition, consider adding a daily probiotic supplement to your routine.
