There is strong evidence that chronic inflammation is a major driver of many chronic diseases including diabetes, heart disease, digestive disorders and certain cancers. Taking advantage of all the current data on nutrition and its impact on inflammation, the anti-inflammatory diet is based upon dietary patterns found in traditional Mediterranean and Asian eating habits. The diet is designed to replace inflammation-triggering foods with nutrient-rich micro and macronutrients that fight inflammation.

This course provides clinicians with an in-depth understanding for how to counsel patients on dietary strategies that can reduce inflammation, decrease the risk for many chronic diseases, and improve mood and energy levels.

Course objectives:

• Describe the role of inflammation in overall health and specific medical conditions.
• Explain the relationship between dietary intake and systemic inflammation.
• Identify specific dietary components that can increase inflammation in the body.
• Summarize the evidence for eating patterns that are associated with lower levels of systemic inflammation.
