Here are foods you can eat to potentially lower the level of inflammation in your body:

Eat less trans fat and saturated fat. These unhealthy fats not only raise the lousy cholesterol level (LDL) but also promote inflammation so eat less of these and replace with healthy oils such as canola, olive and peanut oil which contain more monounsaturated fat, the healthier choice.

Eat less sugar, corn syrup and other simple carbs. Why? They can make your blood sugar level spike which as also been tied to inflammation. Also cut down on processed, refined foods and eat more whole grains and other high fiber foods such as beans, peas, lentils, and oatmeal.

Consume more omega-3 fats. Omega-3 fats which include fish such as salmon and tuna, canola oil, flaxseed and walnuts help counteract inflammation. Add nuts and avocados to the diet. These are good sources of the healthy fat, monounsaturated which appears to be anti-inflammatory.

Increase the number of fruits and vegetables that you eat each day. The antioxidants they contain such as vitamins A, C and E along with all the naturally occurring healthy compounds called phytonutrients seem to ramp down the inflammation process in the body.
