Fighting inflammation with diet

I know many of us follow Zoe with its podcasts on food and health and I thought I knew most of what they were going to say in this podcast but still learnt a few things. I knew that carrying extra weight would in turn cause inflammation. I didn’t know that inflammation can make it harder to lose weight. Anyway here’s the link if you are interested.

I don’t know how to post a link but i found lots of useful information about nettle tea on leaf.tv.

But good for our bones, apparently. Not to mention their traditional use for "regularity".My mother used to call prunes; "Black coated workers"!

I do have large plums in the fruit bowl at present and medjool dates which I think will also serve me well. I’ve just googled it and you are dead right about prunes and plums.
