The science
The pattern that works: pair a fiber source (fruit, vegetables, whole grain) with a fat or protein source (nuts, seeds, hummus, cheese, eggs). That combination keeps blood sugar stable, which keeps inflammation cascades from firing.

The takeaway
Prep snack-sized portions on Sunday: roasted chickpeas, cut veggies with hummus, mixed nut packs. The friction of preparing in the moment is what kills consistency.

Frequently asked
What's the best anti-inflammatory snack?
A handful of mixed nuts (walnuts and almonds especially) plus a piece of fruit. Hits omega-3s, polyphenols, fiber, and healthy fat in under 200 calories. No prep required.
Are protein bars anti-inflammatory?
Most aren't — they pack refined sugars, seed oils, and synthetic flavorings. Look at ingredient lists: if you can't pronounce most of them, the bar is probably driving inflammation. Whole-food bars with dates, nuts, and seeds are the better choice.
