The effects of the anti-inflammatory diet are
unobtrusive. There is a series of research articles that
demonstrate a benefit in reduction of chronic diseases
such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases,
and cancers when following a dietary pattern
associated with the anti-inflammatory diet.
But the benefits go beyond disease prevention. Studies have
shown an alleviation of symptoms associated with
chronic diseases.
As well, a person may decrease or
discontinue their dosage of medications prescribed to
control symptoms related to inflammatory conditions,
and reduce the side affects associated with anti-inflammatory
agents.
It has also been documented that people who
followed the anti-inflammatory diet stated they experienced
loss of weight, had an elevation of energy, and
reported better mental and emotional health.
