Many people are turning to anti-inflammatory diets rich in fruits like blueberries, fish with Omega Acids and turmeric. For example, there are many yoga practitioners in India who have extreme old age and great health that people worldwide can all benefit from listening to, like Baba Ramdev.
Anecdote, but this may explain why I feel so much healthier when I'm fasting regularly. Turns out, if you stop putting everything but water/salt in your body, there's not much left that causes inflammation.

It's always strange to me how certain studies seem to gain so many upvotes on hackernews....a few thoughts: 1. This is a single study published in 2015, what does the wider literature say?
