Dietary phospholipids from animal (dairy, meat, egg) and marine sources exhibit anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting platelet aggregation and modulating Platelet-Activating Factor (PAF) metabolism.

Include phospholipid-rich foods like eggs, dairy, and fish in your diet. These contain phospholipids that may help reduce inflammation by inhibiting platelet aggregation and regulating PAF, a key inflammatory mediator, without the side effects often associated with anti-inflammatory drugs.

ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
These food extracts exhibit anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities through inhibiting PAF-activities and/or downregulating its levels by affecting/modulating the activities of key-metabolic enzymes of PAF (upregulation of PAF-catabolic enzymes activities and/or simultaneous downregulation of the basic PAF biosynthetic enzymes)
