Real Simple Anti-Inflammation

Inflammation is a key mechanism in the body’s healing process, helping fight infection and toxins. It is responsible for your stuffy nose when you get a cold and the redness around a cut. But what you don’t want is chronic inflammation—when that response lingers in your system undetected for months or years, with subtle signs like anxiety or weight gain. Research has linked chronic inflammation to conditions ranging from diabetes to arthritis to heart disease.

The good news is that you can help contain inflammation with the eating, exercise, and lifestyle choices you make each day. And the decisions are connected: If you eat well, you tend to sleep better, which gives you energy to work out, which makes it easier to sleep and manage stress.

In this special issue, Real Simple editors offer lifestyle strategies, recipes, and workouts that can help combat inflammation and foster a healthy immune system. Learn the best yoga routines, foods, and even housekeeping habits to help manage and contain inflammation and to live your best life.
