Frying Pan Pizza

Delicious, colourful recipes designed with specific ingredients using the “Dietary Inflammatory Index” that may reduce inflammation.

This recipe is anti-inflammatory because it:

• Has a low score on the Dietary Inflammatory Index

It also has other benefits because it:

• Contains herbs or spices
• Contains olive oil
• Is a source of omega 3

Eating 1-2 handfuls (30-60g) of nuts and seeds daily could support your heart and brain function. They contain healthy unsaturated fats, protein, fibre, and polyphenols, which are known to counteract oxidative stress and inflammation. 🌰🧠

Having higher levels of omega-3 is tied to improved heart health, inflammation, cognitive function and a longer life expectancy.

Keeping added sugars as low as possible can improve sleep and energy levels. Over time, lower sugar intake (under 25g a day) is tied to a lower risk of depression, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity.🍬

Magnesium is important for muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Higher magnesium intake is linked to improved bone mineral density, which helps lower the risk of fractures and osteoporosis. ✅

They add polyphenols with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that could help lower the risk of chronic diseases. Each spice adds ¼ plant point, which increases diet variety and supports a healthy gut microbiome. 🌱

Vitamin C helps the immune system work properly, acts as a potent antioxidant and helps produce collagen. Pairing vitamin C-rich foods like citrus, peppers, and kiwifruit with leafy greens or legumes can help the body absorb plant-based iron. 🤝

More plant points mean a more diverse diet. Aim for 30 plant points each week to support a healthy gut microbiota and lower the risk of cognitive decline, depression and type 2 diabetes. 🌱🥗

Sofrito creates a powerful base of nutrient-rich ingredients. Pairing extra-virgin olive oil with other ingredients can also boost their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

They ‘feed’ beneficial gut bacteria which support gut and immune health, and may even influence brain function through the gut-brain axis. 🦠🧠
