The Anti-Inflammatory Diet (also called the Alkaline diet) is another plan based on the Mediterranean diet. Integrative medicine doctor Andrew Weil designed the program to lower inflammation in the body. According to him, reduced inflammation may delay the progression of chronic diseases.

For the most part, the Anti-Inflammatory Diet includes foods that most nutritionists recommend. Fresh produce, plant-based proteins, nuts, fatty fish, and whole grains are encouraged. Dieters avoid processed foods and pre-packaged, sodium-filled meals. However, there isn’t much research backing it up.
