14. Almonds

Research supports the idea that walnuts and almonds, like other nuts, are full of anti-inflammatory nutrients like vitamin E and a type of tannin called ellagitannins. Gut microorganisms feed on these tannins and transform them into butyrate, which is anti-inflammatory.

Pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds have similar benefits, so sprinkle them liberally over salads. Nuts and seeds also contain monounsaturated fats, which have anti-inflammatory effects.
