5 Anti-Inflammatory Recipes: How They Can Help


Chronic inflammation is a factor associated with a range of health conditions, from digestive imbalances to changes in cognitive function. Research suggests that systemic inflammation may influence brain health and the gut–brain axis, the communication pathway between your digestive system and brain.¹

A key part of supporting inflammatory balance lies in what you eat. Diets rich in anti-inflammatory foods such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber can help support the gut microbiome and overall brain function.²

     • Chickpea & Spinach Stew
Ingredients: Canned chickpeas, fresh spinach, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, paprika, extra virgin olive oil.
Why it works: Chickpeas offer plant-based protein and fiber to feed beneficial gut bacteria, spinach provides vitamin K and folate for brain health, and olive oil delivers heart-healthy fats with anti-inflammatory effects.³

     • Quinoa & Kale Salad with Lemon Dressing
Ingredients: Cooked quinoa, fresh kale, avocado, blueberries, walnuts, olive oil, lemon juice dressing.
Why it works: Quinoa is a complete protein rich in magnesium (linked to better mood and cognition), kale is packed with antioxidants, and blueberries help combat oxidative stress in the brain.²

     • Greek Yogurt with Berries & Chia
Ingredients: Plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened), blueberries, strawberries, chia seeds, honey (optional).
Why it works: Greek yogurt’s probiotics support a healthy gut microbiome, chia seeds provide omega-3 fatty acids, and berries bring polyphenols that protect brain cells.¹

     • Salmon with Roasted Vegetables
Ingredients: Wild-caught salmon, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, red onions, olive oil, thyme, rosemary.
Why it works: Salmon is rich in DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid crucial for brain health. Sweet potatoes offer beta-carotene, while Brussels sprouts deliver compounds with natural anti-inflammatory properties.

How This Connects to Gut-Brain Health
