Not only does inflammation cause discomfort and pain, but it could lead to other health conditions ranging from Arthritis to IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). Certain foods from our diet contribute to inflammation in our bodies – however, not everyone will experience the same flare-ups. One way to help control them is to eat a diet that’s rich in anti-inflammatory foods – like salads! You can mix and match your favorite toppings to make a powerhouse meal that’s delicious, nutritious and full of added health benefits. Check out Christine Waltermyer and the Natural Kitchen Cooking School’s favorite anti-inflammatory salad recipe below – Mesclun Salad with Walnuts & Blueberries!
