Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar recently debunked the trending anti-inflammation diet in a video shared on Instagram. She emphasized the importance of lifestyle changes such as eating homecooked meals to naturally reduce inflammation in the body. Mentioning how inflammation is a normal body response critical for healing, she highlighted the need to manage factors like food, stress, and sleep to regulate the body effectively, rather than relying on a single miracle cure.
Diwekar also noted that excessive or insufficient exercise can lead to chronic inflammation over time, while good sleep hygiene and stress management are crucial for overall well-being. The anti-inflammatory diet focuses on consuming foods that have anti-inflammatory properties, such as fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, and green tea, while avoiding or minimizing foods that can increase inflammation like processed foods, trans fats, red and processed meats, excessive alcohol, and refined grains.
The diet is linked to reducing the risk of chronic diseases like arthritis, heart disease, and cancer. With celebrities like Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Vidya Balan endorsing the anti-inflammatory diet, it has gained popularity online. Diwekar’s advice provides a different perspective on managing inflammation by making sustainable lifestyle changes rather than following a restrictive diet. Her insights offer a holistic approach to health and well-being in the long run.
