Hello and welcome to Zoe Recap, where each week we find the best bits from one of our podcast episodes to help you improve your health.

Fatigue, disease, gut problems, weight gain. Many of the issues that we discuss on this podcast can be linked back to one thing, chronic inflammation. However, you don't

need drugs or detoxes to quell this fire. One of the most powerful tools that we have to control

inflammation is right in front of us, food. I'm joined by Dr. Federica Amati and Tim Specter to spotlight

three inflammation fighting foods and explain why

these small changes to your plate can make a big difference to your body.

Long-term inflammation is really bad. This is really important in terms of affecting your long-term

health. The food that we eat is sort of central to whether or not, like,

that inflammation is always on or it's switched off? Yes, or degrees in between. So it's not

necessarily on-off switch. You can dial it down or dial out. So perhaps more like a thermostat

that are on off switch. So everyone has some level and the question is it on like super high, medium or really quite low, which is a good place to be in this modern world?

Correct. And there are, you know, a lot of people with autoimmune diseases where the disease itself is causing the body to fight itself and they have raised inflammation levels.

And anyone listening with an autoimmune disease

know the consequences of that. They're getting the tiredness, the fatigue, you know, that often

have depression as well. They're stiff in the mornings. All these things that you get with

these classic levels of inflammation, you're getting to a much more reduced

extent when you get to minor levels. But in a way, everyone is suffering to some extent.

So everyone can improve whatever state of inflammation they have, even if they don't feel

they're unwell. So let's start talking about some real actionable advice and talk about

foods that can fight inflammation.

I know you've brought seven foods that can fight inflammation, but I'd like to start with

one that I asked a route right at the beginning, which is what about a detox juice cleanse?
