Tip of the Day
“Severe mental illnesses (SMI), including major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, are associated with increased inflammation. Given diet’s role in modulating inflammatory processes, excessive calorie-dense, nutrient-deficient processed food intake may contribute toward the heightened inflammation observed in SMI.” (Frontiers in Psychiatry, May 15, 2019)
Anti-inflammatory foods include:
salmon
tuna
flax seeds
tart cherries
oranges
strawberries
curry
edamame
green tea
whole grains
tomatoes
olive oil
blueberries
green, leafy vegetables
nuts
