18 Foods to Reduce Chronic Inflammation and Increase Longevity
One of your most basic health principles is to eat real food. This will radically reduce your exposure to the tens of thousands of chemicals added to processed foods, most of which are not even on the label.
Health.com (2) recently published a list of 18 foods packed with health-promoting compounds like antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals known to play a role in longevity. The running thread linking a wide variety of common health problems - from obesity and diabetes to heart disease and cancer - is chronic inflammation. The key to reducing chronic inflammation in your body starts with your diet, and as you can see, the vast majority of the foods listed tend to have anti-inflammatory activity. Replacing processed foods with real foods can make a significant difference in your overall health and weight, and ultimately determine how long you'll live.

"My favorite"
This is one of my favorites from US Wellness, it's always in my shopping cart. I usually roast it with salt and herbs, at 350 for 35-40 min. It is very tender and delicious. My family loves it.

Paleo Sweet Potato Chicken Soup
|
Author: Caitlin Weeks
Serves: 3-4
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp of organic grass fed butter
- 2 cloves garlic diced
- 2 stalks of celery
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 sweet potatoes, skinned and chopped into bite sized pieces
- 3 cups chopped cabbage, white or red
- 1 lb raw pastured organic chicken thighs, chopped (*leftover holiday turkey works great too, see note below)
- 4 cups homemade chicken broth or stock
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp thyme
- 2 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
- sea salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Directions:
- Put the celery, onion, carrots, and garlic in a pan with melted butter over medium heat and saute for 5 minutes.
- Add the raw chicken pieces and keep stirring.
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme while cooking.
- When the onions are soft and chicken is browned, add the chicken broth, sweet potatoes, and cabbage.
- Simmer covered for 30 minutes on medium stirring every 10 minutes.
- If you like a creamier soup you can use an Cuisinart Immersion Hand Blender briefly before serving.
- Top with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Note: **If you want to use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, omit chicken and add the turkey the same time as adding broth.
