An anti-inflammatory diet combines a variety of whole, largely plant-based, foods which provide vitamins, minerals, fibre, healthy fats, antioxidants and phytochemicals, all of which work together to prevent or dampen inflammation
Eating a diet that suppresses ongoing, low-grade inflammation in the body has been linked to numerous health advantages, including protection against heart disease, stroke, certain cancers and depression.
It’s estimated that one-third of all Alzheimer’s dementias, for example, are caused by risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure and elevated LDL blood cholesterol. At the same time, an anti-inflammatory diet limits refined grains, added sugars, red and processed meats and unhealthy fats, diet components that can cause or worsen inflammation.
Overall, having type 2 diabetes, heart disease and/or stroke was associated with an 81-per-cent increased risk of developing dementia. People living with type 2 diabetes, heart disease and/or stroke who followed an anti-inflammatory diet developed dementia two years later than those with a pro-inflammatory diet.
This study was observational and does not prove that eating an anti-inflammatory diet resulted in a lower dementia risk or more favourable brain MRIs.
