Get your body back on track by stocking up on these nine anti-inflammatory foods.

Fight Inflammation with Food
Inflammation can wreak havoc throughout the body, affecting everything from your skin to heart health. Keep inflammation at bay by taking in more of these fresh foods.

Salmon
This low-mercury fish is high in inflammation-fighting omega-3 fats - a 3-ounce portion contains more than twice the daily goal. Roast, poach, grill or steam a filet and serve with a fresh salad like Bobby Flay does in this recipe.

Flush away inflammation by staying hydrated. Calorie-free water remains the best option for optimal hydration and flushing away toxins. Aim to drink half your body weight in ounces each day. Plain water not your thing? Giada uses fresh fruit to give her glass a hint of flavor.
