Anti-Inflammatory Diet in Clinical Practice: A Review

Recently, there has been an increase in the research regarding the impact of acute and chronic inflammation on health and disease.

Ultimately, the plan models a pattern of eating that (1) focuses on eating whole, plant-based foods that are rich in healthy fats and phytonutrients and (2) maintains a stable glycemic response.
