This might be the most surprising (and welcome!) addition for some. Red wine, particularly in moderation (one glass for women, two for men per day), contains resveratrol, a potent antioxidant found in grape skins. Resveratrol has been studied for its anti-inflammatory effects and its role in heart health. While not a cure-all, enjoying a quality glass of red wine with an anti-inflammatory meal can be part of a balanced, health-conscious lifestyle, contributing to your body's defense.

More than just a fragrant herb, rosemary is a potent anti-inflammatory defender. It contains rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid, compounds with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can inhibit pro-inflammatory enzymes and molecules. Incorporate fresh or dried rosemary into your cooking – with roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or in savory baked goods – to add not just delightful aroma, but also a significant anti-inflammatory boost to your meals.
