Turmeric

Turmeric is in every household in India, and it looks like this common spice has some golden benefits.

Ginger

Ginger isn’t just for adding flavour to your tea, it’s a powerhouse of anti-inflammatory properties.

Dr Sessa explained, “Ginger is incredibly anti-inflammatory, powder form or natural, whatever. I juice it, I love it, I also juice turmeric. It is also fantastic for inflammation. ”

Fish oil

Fish oil, especially the pure ones benefit inflammation, as Dr Sessa added, “Make sure your fish oil is high quality and doesn't have mercury in it, meaning it is microbe filtered and make sure it has high amount of DHA and EPA. Those are two important chemicals or compounds in fish oil that helps reduce the inflammation.”

Bromelain-rich foods

Bromelain is a natural enzyme that reduces swelling. Recommending this, Dr Sessa explained,"High quantities of bromelain are found in pineapple so if you bang your knee, you have some swelling or something, eat some of these foods. "

    Adrija Dey’s proclivity for observation fuels her storytelling instinct. As a lifestyle journalist, she crafts compelling, relatable narratives across diverse touchpoints of the human experience, including wellness, mental health, relationships, interior design, home decor, food, travel, and fashion that gently nudge readers toward living a little better. For her, stories exist in flesh and bones, carried by human vessels and shaped through everyday endeavours. It is the small stories we live and share that make us human. After all, humans and their lores are the most natural and raw repositories of stories, and uncovering them, for her, is akin to peeling an orange under a winter afternoon sun. Always up for a chat, she believes the best stories come from unfiltered yapping, where "too much information" is kind of the point. A graduate of Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi, and an alumna of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Delhi, Adrija spends her idle hours cocooned with herbal tea and a gripping thriller, scribbling inner monologues she loosely calls poetic pieces, often with her succulents in attendance. On lazier days, she can be found binge-watching, for the nth time, one from her comfort-show holy trinity: The Office (US), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Modern Family. Dancing by herself to her peppy playlists, however, is an everyday ritual she swears by religiously.Read More
