I dunno if this helps, every food has macronutrients and micronutrients in them that make up the food. Specific macronutrients that can act as anti-inflammatory through antioxidative action are amino acids in the form of proteins, and micronutrients in the form of vitamins and minerals.
amino acids, the most important antioxidant from amino acids is a tripeptide called Glutathione, it's a very strong antioxidant. It's considered non-essential, meaning your body can produce it, but to do this it needs a lot of "cofactors", so in many studies they supplement either straignt with the glutathione or use cofactors, since glutathione is a bond of 3 amino acids, and the molecules are pretty big, it's hard to digest, so you should consider getting enough of the cofactors that are needed to make the glutathione and the amino acids that make up the glutathione.
Cofactors of Glutathione are: B2, lipoid acid, zinc, vitamin C, selenium
The individual amino acids needed to make the tripeptide chain called glutathione are: glutamine, cysteine and glycine
Then there are amino acids that are not that easily made but require a lot of protein intake so the body can produce the amino acid
erroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD)
Other nutrients that act as antioxidants are vitamin A, vitamin E, Ellagic acid, omega 3, and CoQ10
Normally anti-inflammatory diets are based on lots of fruits and fish, because of the vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and fish because of the omega 3. I think part of the reason is that it's easy to explain compared to the amino acids, take fruits because of the vitamins and fish because of the omega 3, the protein part is usually skipped, even though the proteins are much more powerful.
