Lets face it; most of us have a love-hate relationship with carbohydrates. Mostly because\u00a0 high-carb foods aren’t exactly our besties. High-carb foods like sugar, refined carbohydrates, saturated and trans fats and alcohol contribute to weight gain and inflammatory diseases such as heart disease arthritis and asthma. Inflammation is a part of the body\u2019s immune response; without it, we can\u2019t heal. But when it\u2019s out of control it can damage the body. The good news is that even when following a low-carbohydrate diet, there a number of super foods that are not only recommended for weight loss but are also highly anti-inflammatory as well!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Celery:<\/span><\/h3>\n

This crunchy treat is a great source of Potassium, which helps to flush toxins from the body. What’s more, celery also has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that assist in improving high blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Beetroot:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Beetroot contains high levels of Magnesium and Potassium. While beetroot might not be the most popular vegetable these days it’s a powerhouse when fighting inflammation in the body. Low levels of Magnesium are believed to contribute to inflammatory conditions in the body so try adding a few spoonfuls of beetroot to your weekly meals.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Broccoli:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Adding just one cup of broccoli into your daily diet can help fight inflammation in a big way. One cup of this super vegetable is packed with Vitamins A, B6, C, E and K as well as Manganese, Chromium and Folate, all thought to assist in fighting inflammation.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Fish rich in Omega 3:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Fish is an excellent source of Omega 3 and a high consumption of omega-3s has been shown to lower levels of two inflammatory proteins: C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6. The best sources of Omega 3 fish are salmon, tuna, sardines, herring and anchovies.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Nuts<\/span><\/h3>\n

While you might think of nuts as just a satisfying snack, they also contain substantial amounts of fibre and inflammation-fighting monounsaturated fat. Enjoy a handful of your favourite nuts like almonds or cashews as a snack and give your body a helping hand. <\/span><\/p>\n
