Omega-3 fatty acids are powerful anti-inflammatory agents. They support heart, joint, and brain health and enable the release of specific molecules that trigger the resolution phase of acute inflammation. To increase your omega-3 intake, eat:
Small oily fish (sardines, mackerel, anchovies, herring) two to three times a week
Eggs from hens fed with linseed or products with the Bleu-Blanc-Cœur logo
Linseed or rapeseed oil for salad dressing
Chia seeds
Products rich in omega-7 and 9 fatty acids
Omega-7 and 9 fatty acids complement omega-3 fatty acids and have a beneficial effect on the heart and lipid metabolism. Include in your diet:
Olive oil
Almonds
Avocado
Macadamia nuts
Products rich in polyphenols
Polyphenols protect our body’s cells and reduce inflammation. They are found primarily in plants. A diet rich in polyphenols:
A variety of organic, seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Green tea, matcha tea.
Colorful fruits and vegetables (beets, blueberries, pomegranate).
