Dr. Weil’s Anti-Inflammatory Diet

The Dr. Weil’s Anti-Inflammatory Diet was developed by Dr Andrew Weil, a physician in integrative medicine who uses nutritional models to reduce chronic inflammation and related conditions such as heart disease and other diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease. At its core, this anti-inflammatory diet plan approach is another version of the Mediterranean diet approach (with supplements like green tea and dark chocolate), which has been shown to help reduce swelling effectively and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The program calls for a variety of fresh foods, with an emphasis on fruits and vegetables that provide phytonutrients. The diet recommends regular intake of omega-3 fatty acids and absolute avoidance of fast food, fried foods.

This Dr. Weil’s Anti-Inflammatory Diet limits your daily calorie intake from 2,000 to 3,000, depending on your gender, measurements and health goals. Remember that 40% to 50% of your calories definitely come from carbs, 30% from fat along with 20% to 30% from healthy protein. Weil recommends combining all three of those nutrients at every meal of the day.This is not a strict regimen, an anti-inflammatory diet has a lot of flexibility, including whole grains and lots of fish or fish oil supplements.
