Mushrooms are low-calorie foods rich in selenium, copper, and B vitamins. They support nerve function and energy metabolism. These fungi also contain phenolic compounds and antioxidants that combat inflammation, contributing to overall health.

Berries such as strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and grapes provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are rich in anthocyanin antioxidants, which offer anti-inflammatory effects, reduce disease risk, and maintain normal immune system function. Reducing inflammation contributes to deeper, more restful sleep.

Fatty fish provide protein and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The body converts these fatty acids into resolvin and protectin compounds, which possess anti-inflammatory properties and help stabilize blood sugar. Salmon, sardines, and herring are good choices.

Broccoli offers anti-inflammatory benefits due to its sulforaphane content. This antioxidant compound reduces levels of cytokines and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), both molecules that promote inflammatory processes in the body.

Avocados are rich in potassium, magnesium, fiber, and monounsaturated fats. They also contain carotenoids and tocopherols, which help reduce inflammation throughout the body. Consuming avocados promotes satiety without affecting blood sugar levels, contributing to improved sleep quality.
