At this salon we learned that inflammation is the body's response to injury and its many components. We also discussed a broad overview of inflammation in its various forms - acute, chronic, and how it can cause disease. We introduced the components of an anti-inflammatory diet and discussed how simple dietary changes can help modulate inflammation. We then dove in a day's worth of food to fight inflammation-- breakfast, lunch, dinner and even a sweet note to end. Simple, tasty recipes.
