When you hear the word inflammation… what comes to mind?
For most people, it’s things like a bee sting, a sprained ankle, or that red, swollen pimple. Ouch.
But here’s the thing: inflammation isn’t always the villain it’s made out to be. In fact, for athletes, short-term (acute) inflammation is a key part of how our bodies adapt, repair, and get stronger.
The problem? Chronic inflammation — the kind that lingers for weeks or months.
This type can drain your energy, impair recovery, and even increase long-term disease risk.
That’s where nutrition comes in.
An anti-inflammatory diet isn’t about restriction. It’s about adding more foods that help your body heal, recover, and thrive. In my latest blog, I break down:
🔹 The difference between acute and chronic inflammation
🔹 Foods that help fight inflammation (think berries, fatty fish, leafy greens, spices)
🔹 Why adding these foods regularly can support both performance and long-term health
If you’ve ever wondered how your daily meals could be working for or against your recovery and performance, this post is for you.
