Have you ever heard of anti-inflammatory foods? Well, if you haven’t, you will be glad you clicked on this article! Basically, anti-inflammatory foods are those which reduce inflammation. These foods actually increase the beneficial bacteria in your gut and turn off any inflammatory genes that are causing you to become bloated or unable to lose weight. Some great anti-inflammatory foods are blueberries, salmon, turmeric and beets. Below are some easy meals you can incorporate into your diet this week to increase all those good bacterias in your gut. So let’s get eating!
