Hands up if you’ve seen one too many inflammation-reducing tips circulating on social media, usually delivered from an influencer with no qualifications but excellent lighting and even better screen presence? Same. Somewhere along the line, “anti-inflammatory tips” became the wellness world’s favourite buzzphrase - usually sitting pretty between a £12 smoothie, a 5 am morning routine, and a promise that three weeks of consistency will fix everything.
As someone who lives with more inflammation than most (thank you, IBS and endometriosis), I also know the frustration of trying tips online that cost time, money, and energy, yet don’t always equate to anything. So, when you feel off, have low energy, or aren't quite yourself, the idea that a few small tweaks could help is incredibly appealing - catnip, you could say, for the mildly inflamed and permanently hopeful.
