The Anti-inflammatory Diet is an eating pattern designed to lower the chronic, low-grade inflammation that underlies many joint, metabolic and autoimmune conditions. It emphasises whole, minimally processed foods, omega-3 fats, colourful vegetables and fruit, fibre and polyphenols, while reducing refined sugar, ultra-processed food and excess refined carbohydrate. It aligns naturally with Ayurvedic principles of reducing ama.
At ACTYMED it is used to support people with arthritis and inflammatory joint disease, metabolic conditions and athletes in recovery. It is a supportive, adjunct approach – it complements your medical treatment and does not replace prescribed medication such as DMARDs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programme work?
After an assessment, a personalised, sustainable plan is built around anti-inflammatory foods and away from the main dietary drivers of inflammation, with reviews to fine-tune it to your condition and preferences.
Who is it for?
People with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, gout, fibromyalgia, metabolic syndrome, and athletes wanting better recovery and general wellness.
Does it replace my arthritis medication?
No. It is an adjunct that can help symptoms and overall health, but prescribed treatment such as DMARDs continues under your doctor – we never advise stopping it.
Is it a restrictive or fad diet?
No – it is a balanced, largely whole-food pattern that is sustainable long term, not an elimination fad.
How soon will I feel a difference?
Some people notice improved energy and comfort within weeks, though the metabolic and joint benefits build over months of consistent eating.
