If you love fish, this Latin American dish is a must for you. This ceviche recipe contains top anti-inflammatory foods, such as fish, olive oil and garlic. Oily fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to help reduce inflammation. The anti-inflammatory strength of olive oil rests on its polyphenols. Research has documented a wide variety of anti-inflammatory mechanisms used by olive oil polyphenols to lower our risk of inflammatory problems. As for garlic, the combination of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress compounds in garlic makes it a unique food for cardiovascular support, especially in terms of chronic degenerative cardiovascular conditions like atherosclerosis.
