The #1 Anti-Inflammatory Diet Habit You Should Start, According to Dietitians
Eating more colors is a simple and effective way to eat a more anti-inflammatory diet. Each color adds a unique mix of phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and fiber to your diet. Adding color is as simple as throwing spinach into a smoothie or having berries for you're trying to eat a more anti-inflammatory diet to reduce the risk of chronic disease or help manage symptoms of an inflammatory condition, the best place to start may be adding more color to your plate. 'An anti-inflammatory diet focuses on colorful, nutrient-dense foods like fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, and inflammation-fighting herbs and spices,' says Julie Pace, RDN. 'This pattern of eating can benefit most anyone, but is especially helpful for those managing health conditions such as autoimmune disorders, heart disease, menopause and digestive issues.', While there are plenty of anti-inflammatory foods that may not be vibrantly colored, such as nuts, seeds and grains, incorporating a wider range of colors in your diet is an easy and effective way to get started. Eating the rainbow not only makes your food look more appealing, but it effortlessly adds a wide variety of nutrients, antioxidants, and powerful plant compounds to your diet, helping to fight inflammation, support a healthy gut, and keep your immune system strong. 'Fruits and vegetables are different colors not just to look nice on our plates, but because each color has different health benefits,' says Marita Radloff, M.S., RDN. Phytonutrients are bioactive compounds found in plants that are responsible for vibrant hues, flavors, and smells, with each color representing a different nutrient with unique benefits. Anthocyanins are a family of flavonoids responsible for red, pink, blue and purple hues in fruits and vegetables, and they have powerful anti-inflammatory properties. 'For example, the deep blue-purple hue of blueberries comes from anthocyanins, natural antioxidants that reduce inflammation and protect your cells from damage,' says Melissa Jaeger, RD, LD. Carotenoids are another group of colorful phytonutrients, found in yellow and orange fruits and vegetables as well as leafy greens. As a precursor to vitamin A, carotenoids help protect cells and reduce inflammation caused by oxidative damage while also decreasing the production of inflammatory cytokines. Data suggests that 85 percent of the United States population is not getting the recommended amount of fruit each day, while 90 percent is falling short on vegetables. Focusing on more color in your diet will naturally help you eat more fruits and veggies, both of which play a significant role in overall health and reducing the risk of inflammatory diseases. While most research on fruit and vegetable intake and disease prevention is observational, studies repeatedly show a connection between higher intakes and a lower risk of inflammatory chronic diseases, such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, neurodegeneration, and cancer., 'Fruits and vegetables are rich in fiber, which plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. A balanced microbiome supports the body's immune system and has been linked to a reduced risk of chronic inflammatory diseases,' says Jaegar. As fiber is fermented by the bacteria in your gut, inflammation-fighting short-chain fatty acids are produced. Butyrate, a particularly beneficial short-chain fatty acid, provides energy to the cells in the gut lining, helping to strengthen its integrity and keeping inflammatory substances from leaking out of the gut into the rest of the body. Numerous vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, D, C, E, B6, zinc, iron, copper, selenium, and magnesium, play key roles in combating inflammation. While you could take a supplement to boost your micronutrient intake, it probably won't have the same powerful anti-inflammatory effect as getting them from your diet. Research suggests that various compounds found in plants activate and intensify the inflammation-fighting power of various vitamins and minerals. For example, resveratrol, a polyphenol found in cranberries, blueberries, and plums, has anti-inflammatory and antipoxidant effects, and also acts synergistically with vitamins A and C. Aside from adding the rainbow to your plate, here are some other simple and effective ways to get more anti-inflammatory foods into your diet: Use more: 'Try adding a dash of turmeric to salad dressings, sprinkle cardamom over berries, or mix in parsley and oregano into your favorite dishes. These small additions to your meals can make a significant difference when it comes to fighting inflammation,' says Pace. Stock your freezer: Fresh isn't always best, especially when it comes to keeping nutrients intact. 'Frozen foods are often picked at the peak of ripeness and can be very convenient since they're already cut and you can pop them into the microwave to round out the colors on your plate,' says Radloff. Increase your colors one by one: If you're barely getting one serving of fruits or vegetables per day, don't overcomplicate it by adding too many at once. 'Set a goal to include at least one additional serving of fruits or vegetables in your diet each day,' says Jaeger. Get inspired by the Mediterranean diet: If you'd rather have a guideline to follow than just picking up more fruits and vegetables from the grocery store, following a simple Mediterranean meal plan can help. Eating more colors is a simple and effective way to eat a more anti-inflammatory diet, without overhauling your entire routine. Each color adds a unique mix of phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and fiber to your diet to support your body's natural inflammation-fighting abilities. Additions as simple as blueberries and green spinach in your smoothie, red peppers with your snack, sweet potatoes for dinner, and blackberries in dessert can help you enjoy the benefits and incredible flavors of a more colorful diet.

Media groups urge Israel to allow Gaza access for foreign journalists
NEW YORK: More than 130 news outlets and press freedom groups called Thursday for Israel to immediately lift a near-total ban on international media entering Gaza, while calling for greater protections for Palestinian journalists in the territory. Israel has blocked most foreign correspondents from independently accessing Gaza since it began its war there following the unprecedented October 7, 2023 attack by militant group Hamas. An open letter shared by the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Without Borders called the restrictions 'a situation that is without precedent in modern warfare.' Signees included AFP's global news director Phil Chetwynd, The Associated Press executive editor Julie Pace, and the editor of Israeli newspaper Haaretz Aluf Benn. The letter added that many Palestinian journalists -- whom news outlets have relied on to report from inside Gaza -- face a litany of threats. 'Local journalists, those best positioned to tell the truth, face displacement and starvation,' it said. 'To date, nearly 200 journalists have been killed by the Israeli military. Many more have been injured and face constant threats to their lives for doing their jobs: bearing witness. 'This is a direct attack on press freedom and the right to information.' The letter added that it was a 'pivotal moment' in Israel's war -- with renewed military actions and efforts to boost humanitarian aid to Gaza. This, it said, makes it 'vital that Israel open Gaza's borders for international journalists to be able to report freely and that Israel abides by its international obligations to protect journalists as civilians.' Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of the Committee to Protect Journalists, said in a separate statement that Israel must grant journalists access and allow them to work in Gaza 'without fear for their lives.' 'When journalists are killed in such unprecedented numbers and independent international media is barred from entering, the world loses its ability to see clearly, to understand fully, and to respond effectively to what is happening,' she said. Reporters Without Borders head Thibaut Bruttin said the media blockade on Gaza 'is enabling the total destruction and erasure of the blockaded territory.' 'This is a methodical attempt to silence the facts, suppress the truth, and isolate the Palestinian press and population,' he said in a statement. Thursday's letter was issued the same day the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said three reporters were killed by a strike close to a hospital in Gaza City. Israel's military said the strike had targeted 'an Islamic Jihad terrorist who was operating in a command and control center' in the yard of the hospital.
