Endocrinologist Ekaterina Young spoke about unobvious symptoms of inflammation in the body, which over time can cause various diseases.
The list of alarm bells included constant fatigue, loss of concentration, problems with sleep, skin and weight. The specialist noted in her Telegram channel that the level of inflammation can be reduced with proper nutrition.
To that end, Young listed the five most effective foods for fighting inflammation. These are Brussels sprouts, pomegranate, mackerel, garlic and arugula. She says Brussels sprouts have many antioxidants, including vitamin C and beta-carotene, and pomegranate contains ellagic acid, which slows down oxidation reactions and prevents the buildup of free radicals.
Mackerel, due to its high content of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D, increases the body’s resistance to infections, and garlic not only helps reduce bad cholesterol, but helps support the intestines and strengthen the immune system to fight viruses, the endocrinologist explained. In turn, eating arugula helps neutralize toxic heavy metals and pesticides.
Previously, the doctor named vegetable oils that should not be used for frying.
