A new meal plan has been introduced aiming to promote better health through an anti-inflammatory diet. This approach emphasizes nutrient-rich foods to help reduce inflammation, which is linked to several chronic diseases including heart disease and diabetes.
The meal plan features a carefully structured weekly menu divided into three meals per day. For instance, Day 1 includes a breakfast of Mango Lassi Smoothie, a lunch of Chickpea Tuna Salad paired with an orange, and a dinner of Garlic-Butter Salmon with beets and broccoli. Daily calorie intake varies slightly across the week, falling between 1,778 and 1,817 calories.
Each meal is designed to be high in protein while avoiding added sugars, which can exacerbate inflammation. Nutritionists also suggest flexible modifications, enabling participants to swap meals they may not enjoy with alternatives that maintain the health benefits of the diet. Furthermore, the plan highlights the importance of incorporating diverse fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, while limiting refined sugars and processed foods.
As the programme progresses, participants can expect to improve their overall well-being and potentially reduce their risk factors for chronic illnesses. Future updates to the meal plan may include additional recipes and further dietary advice based on participant feedback and nutritional research.
