Summary

An anti-inflammatory diet aims to reduce chronic, low-grade inflammation ('inflammaging'), a key driver of many age-related diseases. By providing a high intake of polyphenols, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber from whole foods, this dietary pattern modulates immune responses, improves gut microbiome health, and lowers systemic inflammatory markers like hs-CRP, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, and metabolic syndrome.

Purpose

Reduces chronic inflammation, a core driver of age-related disease.
