Kairi Moss intended not to adopt an anti-inflammatory diet. She really came into it by mistake; after a particularly demanding year left her feeling exhausted, achy, and always fatigued.
“I was not expecting a miracle,” she adds. “I simply wanted to feel like myself again. A Health Nutrition Book: The Complete Guide to Vitamins, Minerals, and Nutrients
She started reading about chronic inflammation and how it affected the body. The symptoms—low energy, joint pain, cognitive fog—felt almost exactly identical.
Curious, she decided to make some little adjustments beginning with the items she kept in her kitchen. Nothing radical; only minor changes and additions aimed to promote recovery.
Kairi found her symptoms improving over time. Her mornings seemed more seamless, her skin more brilliant, and her attention more acute.
The difference was consistent and lasting rather than overnight. She says, “I was not trying to diet.” “Day by day, I was trying to support my body”.
Her cupboard and refrigerator now usually have a few basics that make creating anti-inflammatory meals second nature. More importantly, perhaps, than the components is her changed attitude.
She now sees sustenance rather than limitation. “It’s not about slashing everything out,” she explains.
“It’s about having the proper building blocks to cook with so that health simply becomes part of the rhythm.”
Healing meant different things to Kairi than extremes. It derived from the peaceful constancy of everyday decisions—made simpler by keeping appropriate meals on hand.
