10 Anti-Inflammatory Snack Recipes
If it feels like the external treatments haven’t been helping, maybe it’s time to change up your diet. Various studies have shown that certain foods can cause inflammation which is a psoriasis-trigger. Increasing your intake of foods with anti-inflammatory properties may reduce the severity of a flare-up. Adding in more fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats (such as fatty fish, nuts, and avocado) can help keep the inflammation at bay.
But changing up your diet doesn’t mean you have to lose out on delicious snacks. We’ve found some delectable bites that are good for you too! All of these tasty treats are healthy and chock-full of anti-inflammatory ingredients. So whether you’ve got the munchies at home or are craving a snack on the go, here are 10 different snack ideas.
