Inflammation is a normal immune response. It becomes harmful when it stays elevated for years — often alongside obesity, poor sleep, and ultra-processed diets.

Foods associated with lower inflammation

  • Leafy greens and colorful vegetables
  • Berries and citrus
  • Fatty fish like salmon and sardines
  • Olive oil and nuts
  • Whole grains and legumes

Foods to reduce

  • Sugary drinks and frequent desserts
  • Processed meats
  • Deep-fried fast food
  • Excess alcohol

Healthy eating does not have to be perfect. MealCoach.ai and Coach Kibo help you build better meals, understand what works for your body, and stay consistent — without shame or endless calorie math.
