For people who suffer from conditions involving chronic inflammation, such as gastritis and ulcers, IBS, asthma arthritis and psoriasis, eating an anti-inflammatory diet can have tremendous benefits at reducing the severity of symptoms.

A complete dietary overhaul would be ideal but if that is not possible, below are some simple tips on how to improve your diet.

1. Always include a raw and a cooked veg in each meal to benefit from maximum nutritional content and mineral absorption.

2. Brew a cup of fresh ginger and turmeric tea daily and add a teaspoon of honey. All these ingredients have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

3. Add a teaspoon of ground flaxseed to your cereal, meats, salads and soups to increase your fiber intake.

4. Take an omega three supplement for a boost of health fats.

5. In between meals, snack on fruit accompanied with nuts and seeds.
