Which Foods Fight Your Body's Inflammation? Livingston Health Educator Speaks

LIVINGSTON, NJ —When your body fights off stresses or invaders, it becomes inflamed. Experts say chronic inflammation can lead to or worsen other disorders or symptoms, from stress to type 2 diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. They also say that the foods you eat can reduce inflammation.

The Livingston Health Department, in conjunction with Summit Health, will host a presentation on anti-inflammatory foods. The virtual program will be held via Zoom on Thursday, April 7, 2022 from 1 p.m. to 2.

Foods like blueberries, almonds, and more help fight inflammation.

"Join us to learn more about these foods and set yourself on a path to consuming a more nutritious diet," the township said.

Registration for the free program is required.
