Omega-3-Rich Fish

Fatty acids in seafood help quench the flames of chronic inflammation. In addition, "there's very good new data suggesting that omega-3 fats from fish act on an area of the brain that leads to improved mood and attitude among healthy people," says Artemis P. Simopoulos, M.D., author of The Omega Diet. These improvements in outlook lead to feeling healthier and more vigorous, she explains. 

The omega-3s in fatty fish like salmon and tuna have the most potent anti-inflammatory effects. 

But it's smart to consume omega-3s from plant sources, like walnuts and flaxseed, too - especially if you're not fond of fish.
