The summery at the end of the transcript , https://zoe.com/learn/7-anti-inflammatory-foods ) from Zoe / by interviewer Jonathan Wolf on inflammation,
Jonathan Wolf: Then you gave us these seven examples of foods that really you could start eating right now for spring to reduce inflammation.
Broccoli, I learned that I should microwave it. There was another complicated method, but that seemed great. And stop for 10 minutes, you know, who has 10 minutes?
Extra virgin olive oil could work as much as Advil. I think that's pretty amazing. Dark chocolate, over 70%. Make sure it hasn't got lots and lots of ingredients. On the back, is it really highly processed?
Chia seed, even just two or three teaspoons and we got an amazing dessert that I am going to try.
Turmeric, but don't eat it on its own. You actually have to mix it with other spices if you want to have the effect.
Raspberries, just buy them frozen. Actually, probably better than having fresh sits in the freezer. And you can just add, and you can make things like jam that I had never even thought of.
Red cabbage kraut. The one that sticks out in my mind, and I think, Tim, your point is it's an example of something that's fermented. If these fermented foods really make a difference to your diet?
Jonathan Wolf: So 30 plants a week, eating the rainbow, thinking about all of these different foods to support your bugs. Reduce the amount you're reaching of these high-risk processed foods because they're actually pushing up this level of inflammation.
Then you said it's not just food. So sleep is really important. Exercise is really important.
Then, I think you finished with this wonderful positive message that you want to be consistent, but you don't need to be perfect. And Tim said the 80% rule: if 80% of what you're eating is really in line with this and you've therefore got to good gut health, actually you can tolerate eating the stuff from the kids' birthday party from time to time, and you're going to manage it and you can still keep your inflammation low.
This can really make a difference to making me feel better in the short run, but also on track for more healthy years in the future.
