Having eggs for breakfast is a great way to start your morning, especially if you are working on eating healthier. However, there are some ways to make this breakfast choice even more beneficial.
Specifically, by adding some condiments to your eggs, you can bring in anti-inflammatory ingredients into your breakfast, which is a great way to start feeling better.
With that in mind, keep reading for 4 anti-inflammatory condiments you should start using!
Hot Sauce
According to Time, hot sauce is one healthy condiment you should definitely consider using more of. This is due to the active ingredient in peppers--capsaicin--which has tons of health benefits.
In fact, according to the article, "[Capsaicin] has shown antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects in lab studies."
Salsa
Salsa is another great addition to your favorite egg recipe, adding some extra flavor and helping make any dish more anti-inflammatory.
According to Healthline, salsa contains the antioxidant quercetin which "has been found to have anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antihistamine effects."
Plus, salsa also contains capsaicin.
Guacamole
Adding guacamole is another great way to incorporate some more nutrients into your favorite breakfast food.
According to Very Well Fit, "Avocados are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, plus they're an excellent source of magnesium, fiber, and potassium while being low in sodium. Eating half an avocado will also add nicely to your daily intake of vitamins C, A, E, and B-complex vitamins."
The article continues, "The combination of these nutrients and the polyphenols that work as antioxidants make avocados a must-have for any anti-inflammatory diet."
Gochujang
According to Dr. Axe, gochujang, red chili paste often used in Korean cuisine, is another condiment you should think about incorporating into your regular diet.
The article explains, "Benefits associated with the ingredients in gochujang include stimulating fat loss, helping prevent heart disease, increasing metabolism, decreasing blood sugar and fighting inflammation thanks to the supply of antioxidants."
