RBC-Ukraine Lists 8 Anti-Inflammatory Foods for July, From Watermelon to Salmon

1 articles · Updated · RBC-Ukraine · Jul 15

Summary

  • Eight foods topped RBC-Ukraine’s July anti-inflammatory list: watermelon, beets, cucumbers, blueberries, salmon, avocado, mint and spinach.
  • Watermelon, cucumbers, blueberries and spinach were highlighted for antioxidants such as vitamin C, lycopene, anthocyanins and polyphenols that help counter oxidative stress linked to inflammation.
  • Salmon and avocado stood out for fats tied to lower inflammation—omega-3s in salmon and monounsaturated fats, especially oleic acid, in avocado.
  • Beets and mint were presented as supportive additions: beets for betalains and nitrates, mint for menthol and rosmarinic acid, while the report said mint is not a treatment.
  • RBC-Ukraine said the list is informational only and should not replace medical diagnosis, self-treatment decisions or consultation with a doctor.
