Anti-inflammatory snack: Cherry, pineapple, blueberry
Pineapple is full of vitamin C and contains an enzyme called bromelain that minimizes inflammation of the gut, boosts immune function, and stimulates protein digestion. Try combining it with blueberries because they are packed with antioxidants and vitamins A, C, and E.
Anthocyanin is the main antioxidant in both blueberries and cherries and is what gives these fruits their gorgeous deep blue and red colors. Grab some tart cherries over sweet ones as they are shown to contain higher amounts of phenolic compounds, delivering a stronger anti-inflammatory punch.
