Have you been eating poorly this summer? Feeling bloated or retaining fluids? You’re not alone. Several leading nutritionists have created five anti-inflammatory breakfasts designed to help your body recover and reduce inflammation.

Why Summer Can Trigger Inflammation

Summer is a time to relax — but often, that means overindulging in fast food, sugary drinks, late-night meals, and alcohol. This can leave you feeling bloated, fatigued, and sluggish.

As the seasons shift, it’s the perfect time to reset your health with an anti-inflammatory diet, starting with breakfast.

What Is an Anti-Inflammatory Diet?

Dr. Mar Mira, nutritionist and co-director of Clínica Mira+Cueto, explains that an anti-inflammatory diet eliminates ultra-processed and high-glycemic foods like:

• Sugar, refined flours, starchy carbs
  
• Sweetened dairy (flavored yogurts, shakes)
  
• Refined breakfast cereals, rice cakes, pastries
  
• Processed meats (mortadella, deli meats)
  
• Margarine and industrial trans fats
  

These foods trigger inflammation and can lead to chronic health issues and premature aging.

Benefits of an Anti-Inflammatory Lifestyle

According to Dr. Mira, this lifestyle supports:

• Immune system health
  
• Tissue healing and repair
  
• Reduction of free radical damage
  
• Delayed premature aging
  
• Hormonal, cardiovascular, and brain health
  

A full anti-inflammatory breakfasts approach includes nutritious food, physical activity, sunlight, emotional balance, and toxin reduction.

What Makes a Breakfast Anti-Inflammatory?

An ideal anti-inflammatory breakfast includes:

• Natural, unprocessed foods
  
• Healthy fats (avocados, nuts, EVOO)
  
• Protein sources (eggs, smoked salmon, turkey, goat kefir)
  
• Fiber-rich carbs (whole grains, oats)
  
• Superfoods (turmeric, matcha, açaí)
