In the Dietary Inflammatory Index scoring system I discussed in the Anti-Inflammatory section, the single most pro-inflammatory food component is saturated fat. The single most anti-inflammatory food component? Fiber.3899 Since saturated fat is found mostly in meat, dairy, and junk food, whereas fiber is abundant in whole grains, beans, vegetables, and fruit, that information alone is enough to get a general sense of what an anti-inflammatory diet might look like: one centered around whole plant foods.
