Over time, inflammation can harm your organ functions, your energy levels, and your cognitive abilities—but most inflammation can be healed. The Easy Anti-Inflammatory Cookbook, adapted from Molly Thompson’s The Anti-Inflammatory Diet Made Simple, is a collection of easy-to-make recipes with simple ingredients based on foods that are scientifically proven to reduce inflammation naturally. The right food choices can return your body function to its most efficient and ultimately eliminate symptoms associated with inflammatory disorders, including: digestive issues (leaky gut, bloating, gas, irritable bowel syndrome [IBS], constipation); headaches; hormone imbalances (irregular cycles, polycystic ovarian syndrome [PCOS]); autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis); skin issues (acne, psoriasis, eczema); mood disorders (anxiety, depression); trouble sleeping; and trouble losing weight.
