Andrew Huberman: Foods and Supplements to Reduce Inflammation

Chronic inflammation is associated with a variety of negative health outcomes, including an increased risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. It can also contribute to the development of autoimmune disorders and can exacerbate symptoms of other conditions. Additionally, chronic inflammation can lead to tissue damage and impaired functioning of organs, which can have long-lasting and sometimes irreversible effects on health.

  1. Fatty fish: Fatty fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties.

  2. Nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds like almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, and chia seeds are high in healthy fats and fiber, which can help reduce inflammation.

  3. Berries: Berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are high in antioxidants and can help reduce inflammation.

  4. Leafy greens: Leafy greens like kale, spinach, and collard greens are high in antioxidants and other anti-inflammatory compounds.

  5. Turmeric: Turmeric is a spice that contains a compound called curcumin, which has strong anti-inflammatory properties.

  6. Ginger: Ginger contains compounds called gingerols and shogaols, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

  7. Garlic: Garlic contains a compound called allicin, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects.

  8. Green tea: Green tea contains catechins, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

  9. Probiotics: Probiotics, which are found in foods like yogurt and kefir, can help reduce inflammation by promoting healthy gut bacteria.

  10. Vitamin D: Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to inflammation, so getting enough vitamin D through supplements or sunlight exposure may be beneficial for reducing inflammation.
