When the immune system suffers irritation, injury or infection, inflammation occurs as the first biological response.
Various inflammatory cytokines, such as nitric oxide, interleukins, prostaglandin E2 are affected and try to counteract inflammation with an effect that is called "anti-inflammatory".
Vegetables, fruit and legumes contain phytochemicals that exert an anti-inflammatory effect.
