Dr. Meenakshi Jain Recommends 6 Anti-Inflammatory Foods for Indian Diets

Summary
Six everyday foods and staples — turmeric, ginger, leafy greens, pulses, flaxseeds and nuts, plus garlic and onions — can help lower inflammation when used regularly, Dr. Meenakshi Jain said.
Curcumin, Gingerols, antioxidants, fiber, omega-3s and sulphur compounds in those foods may reduce inflammatory markers, support gut health and ease joint or muscle inflammation.
Jain framed the advice around Indian eating habits, urging a balanced plate with dals, seasonal vegetables, whole grains such as millets or brown rice, and routine use of spices.
She also advised limiting fried foods, sugar and refined carbohydrates, and pairing diet changes with walking, yoga and stress management.
The guidance was presented as informational rather than medical treatment, with Jain urging people with existing conditions to consult a healthcare provider before major dietary changes.
