Now that you’re up to speed on the life changing potential of an anti-inflammatory diet, I want to show you how easy (and delicious) it is to eat this way. So, I’ve put together this day of anti-inflammatory meals for you to try! It not only includes anti-inflammatory foods in every meal and snack, it also excludes the common inflammation-triggering foods I remove in the main elimination diet I use with my clients. Try eating anti-inflammatory meals this way for a day and I think you’ll be hooked!
