The idea of an anti-inflammatory diet is to provide your body with the healthiest ingredients that are shown to provoke the fewest inflammatory responses. While each person will react differently to foods, research has shown diets including a wide variety of vegetables are the healthiest. At Arizona Pain Monthly, we also believe in seasonal eating. These recipes combine both a great variety of vegetables, and produce you should find in plenty at your local market in winter.
