The Emptying of Baalbek Is a Moment to Take Stock
“Large numbers of people continue to flee their homes every day, as Israel’s military operations in Lebanon have been going on unabated.” These disturbing words could be from almost any news report about Israel’s invasion of its northern neighbour over the past month.

Anti-Inflammatory Diet: How to Reduce Inflammation through Eating Right
If you suffer from the issue of inflammation, according to doctors, before taking any medicine try and follow the natural route.
What is inflammation and how does it affect the body?
According to the Cleveland Clinic, inflammation occurs when cells travel to the place of an injury or foreign body like bacteria, but if these cells stay in the body for too long, it may lead to chronic inflammation.
Health experts believe that chronic inflammation is a symptom of many underlying health conditions like arthritis or even stress.
How to reduce inflammation naturally
The best way to reduce chronic inflammation is to adopt an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle that may help you stay healthy and slow down aging. The diet would also help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, dementia, and autoimmune diseases like joint pain, and cancer.
"Many experimental studies have shown that components of foods or beverages may have anti-inflammatory effects," Dr. Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health told the Cleveland Clinic.
Doctors believe that an anti-inflammatory diet provides a healthy balance of protein, carbs, and fat at each meal. Make sure you also meet your body’s needs for vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water.
According to Healthline, one of the most successful anti-inflammatory diets is the Mediterranean diet, which has been shown to reduce inflammatory markers, such as CRP and IL-6.
A low-carb diet also reduces inflammation, particularly for people with obesity or metabolic syndrome.
Some of the foods that help reduce inflammation are:
- Vegetables like Broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, etc.
- Fruits, especially dark and deeply coloured ones like blueberries, pomegranates, grapes, and cherries
- High-fat fruits like Avocados and olives
- Healthy fats like olive oil and avocado oil
- Fatty fish like Salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, and anchovies are full of antioxidants
- Nuts like Almonds and walnuts
- Peppers like bell peppers and chili peppers
- Dark chocolate
- Organic spices like turmeric, fenugreek, cinnamon, etc.
- Green tea
- Red wine in a limited amount
