Piper Hayes is aware of the power food has. She searched her kitchen for answers after battling persistent irritation.
She says, “changing how I eat was life-changing.” Piper is driven now to share the knowledge of anti-inflammatory foods that taste as good as they are medicinal.
Foods Targeting Inflammation
“My MVP is turmeric,” Piper replies grinningly. Curcumin, a known potent anti-inflammatory agent, abound in this golden spice. She enjoys sloshing it into soups and stews as well as in golden milk lattes.
Another preferred is Leafy greens including kale and spinach. “They are rather flexible,” Piper says. Her diet revolves around these nutrient-dense vegetables whether they are sautéed with garlic or mixed into a smoothie.
Great Ideas to Try: Piper has an anti-inflammatory smoothie first thing in morning. She combines frozen berries, almond milk, some spinach, and a little ginger. “It’s a novel approach to begin the day,” she explains.
She swears at her Sweet Potato and Chickpea Buddha Bowl for lunch. She writes, “It’s colorful, filling, and loaded with nutrients.” This is a crowd-pleaser with roasted sweet potatoes, spicy chickpeas and a creamy tahini dressing.
Easy Changes for Improved Medical Condition
Piper maintains, “Small changes add up.” She advises changing processed grains for whole grains and substituting olive oil for butter. “It’s about progress not about perfection.”
Piper exudes contagious excitement. “Eating this way has changed my life.” She adds. And it will also help you!
