Quick takeaways

  • Foods like blueberries and kale, which are whole and unprocessed, contain antioxidants that can neutralize highly reactive molecules produced during energy creation and help heal cellular damage.
  • To avoid misinformation and confusion, it is important to be discerning when following social media influencers and instead seek reliable sources of nutrition information to gain a clearer understanding of good nutrition.

Deep dives

All food can be considered inflammatory due to the generation of reactive molecules during energy production.

Technically, all food could be considered inflammatory. When you create energy, whether it's through daily activities or exercise, highly reactive molecules are produced that can damage cells. Inflammation is a natural response to heal this damage. Foods like blueberries and kale that are whole and unprocessed contain antioxidants that can neutralize these reactive molecules. However, it is important to note that the focus should be on the overall diet, rather than labeling individual foods as inflammatory.
