• Red meat, or any meat that’s high in saturated fat

Eat these foods, which can help your body combat inflammation:

• Fish. Hathaway doesn’t eat fish, but if you do, load up on fatty fish such as salmon and sardines. They contain fatty acids that help your body fight inflammation.

• Olive oil. Even a small amount of olive oil gives you a hefty dose of monounsaturated fat, which wards off inflammation.

• Peanuts and peanut butter. Not only do they contain healthy fats, but peanuts and peanut butter are also great sources of protein if you don’t eat meat.

• Almonds. A Hathaway favorite, these nuts are chockfull of good-for-you fats.

• Dark chocolate. Yes, chocolate is on this list! In fact, research shows that regularly eating dark chocolate helps reduce inflammation.

• Colorful fruits and veggies. Eat the rainbow. Stock up on antioxidant powerhouses such as kale, carrots, blueberries and raspberries.

•  Cherries. “These red fruits significantly reduce inflammation because they contain potent antioxidants called anthocyanins,” notes Keller. 

• Turmeric and ginger. Both of these spices contain powerful anti-inflammatory compounds.
