The Anti-Inflammatory Mediterranean Diet - A Tool to Make It Easier
Apr 23, 2025
Following an anti-inflammatory diet, like the Mediterranean Diet (rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy omega-3 fats like fish and olive oil), could reduce the risk of autoimmune diseases, cancer, Alzheimer’s and more. The Food Institute recommended it this week.
Perhaps the secret of the Mediterranean Diet is not so much what you consume but what you avoid — poor ingredients in our foods. Avoiding items like seed oils (in 34% of our foods), ultra processed ingredients (~30%), artificial colors (~17%), ingredients banned in other countries (~14%), and many more.
So if you have the time and money to enjoy a full-on Mediterranean Diet, go for it as many have loved it. For those who want to improve their diet by avoiding or limiting ingredients which hurt the body, there are simple tools like the WISEcode™ app.
The key is knowledge and the decision is yours:
With over 650,000 products and thousands of ingredients tracked across the U.S. food supply — including seed oils — WISEcode™ makes it simple to scan products and instantly identify ingredients you don’t want in your food.
