The anti-inflammatory diet is a fiber- and nutrient-rich eating pattern that focuses on whole foods and reduces or eliminates foods known to contribute to chronic inflammation. Potential benefits of the diet include maintenance of health and wellness and prevention of chronic diseases associated with inflammation, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some forms of cancer. This recipe was developed by a team of doctors and nutrition experts at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Drexel University.
