The best foods to fight inflammation this spring | Prof. Tim Spector and Dr. Federica Amati
Tim Spector (King's College London, ZOE) and Federica Amati (registered nutritionist and researcher) frame chronic low-grade inflammation as the silent driver under cancer, heart disease, dementia, and metabolic disease. They emphasize that a large portion of immune activity is linked to the gut and influenced by daily diet. The episode walks through seven food categories that reflect a broader anti-inflammatory dietary pattern, each with documented bioactive compounds: broccoli (sulforaphane), extra-virgin olive oil (oleocanthal), fermented foods, fatty fish, berries, nuts, and varied herbs and spices. Mainstream-aligned, ZOE/King's College London research base, consistent with the Bulsiewicz framing on the gut-inflammation axis.
