In severe cases, inflammation may even compromise tissue integrity. It potentiates tumor growth in cancer and triggers many symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and other ailments.

Here’s a list of the top 10 anti-inflammatory foods to consider incorporating into your diet: #3 is hard to put down!

1. Salmon

Different studies suggest that salmon is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory foods on the market. It is more expensive than average foods, but it compensates with many antioxidants and an impressive load of vitamins and minerals.

Salmon prevents different inflammatory problems in the gut, including colitis, stomach ulcers, and more.
