To avoid sports injuries anyone knows if exists (book, ebook, internet..) a nutritional table (detected by recent scientific studies) that lists the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory power of each food ? What food should be avoided to reduce sports injuries and what food should be preferred to reduce sports injuries .

    Welcome to the forum. You will have received these down-votes, I think, because you first need to demonstrate evidence (1) that inflammatory and anti-inflammatory foods exist and are measurable, and (2) that such properties are associated specifically with sports injuries, as opposed to inflammatory illnesses, for example. It is generally assumed that sports injuries are caused by the combination of chronic over-training and the acute (mis-) application of loads. – POD May 16 at 20:04

    I'm adding some evidence study now. – gr68 May 18 at 4:59
  • BTW this nutritionj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1475-2891-9-3 partially replies to my question since it lists only antioxidant foods but I would know and food which should be avoided which increase body inflammation. – gr68 May 18 at 5:17

    Okay, so we have established (1) that inflammatory and anti-inflammatory foods exist, but not (2) their link with the sports injuries. Do you know of any evidence that suggests that they are connected? – POD May 19 at 6:10

Anti-inflammatory foods are important for mitigating fatigue, and fatigue is an important factor in injury causation- source 1, source 2

Here's a list of 3100 foods listed by antioxidant content.

Antioxidants have different antiinflammatory properties but it seems the strongest are plant pigments such ascarotenoids and anthocyanins.
