Eat This, Not That: 30 Best Anti-Inflammatory Foods

"Inflammation works a little like sports fans at their team's championship game; one minute they're cheering in the stands. But once the final buzzer goes off to signify their victory, they flood the court in an unstoppable wave, setting cars ablaze while rioting in the streets. As part of your body's immune response, inflammation in the body is essentially your body's way of alerting you when you experience an injury or wound. For example, after spraining your ankle, it will likely start to swell and throb. Although painful, this physiological reaction occurs to signal your immune system to fix it."
