What you eat tells a lot about your health. And so, a good diet is important for your overall health and well–being, as it can prevent unwanted medical conditions. Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, fibre, and protein along with some dairy forms part of the anti-inflammatory diet which wards off deadly conditions such as heart issues, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and even cancer.

According to a recent study, there is a link between the intake of daily fibre supplements to improved brain function and lower risk of Alzheimer's. Experts say an essential amino acid called tryptophan is found in various foods and is extremely beneficial for your overall health. In your gut, it gets transformed by bacteria into various compounds.

To help you incorporate more anti-inflammatory foods into your diet, experts shared six specific things we should all be eating more of.

Berries with seeds are among the most fibre-rich fruits. For the most fibre, choose raspberries or blackberries at 8 grams per cup. They also have less sugar than other fruits and can be incorporated into cereals and salads.

Nuts and seeds provide protein, fat, and fibre. An ounce of almonds is loaded with around 4 grams of fibre and are high in unsaturated fats, magnesium, and vitamin E.

For several reasons, you should eat lots of vegetables. as they help lower your risk of several chronic diseases. Also, non-starchy vegetables are low in calories and high in nutrients, including fibre.

Whole grains are minimally processed, leaving the whole grain intact and loaded with vitamin-containing germ and fibre-rich bran. Replace at least half of the refined grains in your diet with whole grain versions, like amaranth, barley, buckwheat, farro and millet.

Legumes, which include beans, dried peas, and lentils are an important part of various kinds of diets. They are super rich in fibre, along with protein, carbs, vitamins, and minerals. Replacing meat with legumes in a few meals per week is linked to an increased life span and a decreased risk of several chronic diseases.

According to experts, most of these foods are packed with fibre or roughage, which gets broken down in your large intestine and is essential for keeping your gut working normally. Doctors say most of us do not eat enough fibre daily, while the recommended amount is around 30 grams a day.

Scientists said eating fibre boosts your health by reprogramming the gut, preventing the conversion of tryptophan into harmful substances and instead promoting its conversion into beneficial substances. The gut bacterium - E. coli turns tryptophan into a harmful compound called indole, which is associated with the progression of chronic kidney disease.

But another gut bacterium, C. sporogenes, turns tryptophan into healthy substances associated with protection against inflammatory bowel diseases, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological diseases. Even though fibre has long been touted for promoting healthy bacteria in the gut, scientists say they lead to a healthier composition in your digestive area and boosts overall health.
