Leah Moore’s anti-inflammatory recipes could be exactly what you need if joint pain is keeping you from moving. Leah, a chef who conquered her own fight with arthritis, has created a menu of foods meant to reduce inflammation and promote joint health.
Leah argues passionately, “Food is medicine.” “What we put on our plates can either combat inflammation or feed it.
Her Sweet Potato and Kale Stir-Fry is among her hallmark meals. Loaded with beta-carotene, vitamin C, and antioxidants, this meal is a joint health powerhouse. She says, “the sweet potato is soft and comforting; the kale adds a pleasing crunch.”
Leah also suggests her Turmeric-Infused Lentil Soup, a robust concoction of red lentils, coconut milk, and spices including turmeric and cumin. “Turmeric changes everything,” she explains. “It contains curcumin, a well-known strong anti-inflammatory agent.”
Leah’s Chia Pudding with Berries is a crowd-pulling dish. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, this recipe—which calls for almond milk, chia seeds, and a mix of fresh berries—is also anti-inflammatory. “Although it seems decadent, this treat is really good for you.” she says.
Leah advises everyone suffering with joint discomfort to try her recipes. She counsels against overhauling your whole diet over night. “Start by including one anti-inflammatory dish a day and see how your body reacts.”
