Well the first thing they usually tell you is to eat more omega-3s. Too many omega-6 fats compared to intake of omega-3 fats can cause inflammation. Also, fish/nut fat called "polyunsaturated" is associated with low levels of inflammation.
This isn't a mainstream idea: but some associated those with coastal ancestors with those that feel better eating mostly omega-3s from fish and vegetables rather than omega-6s from dairy and other kinds of meat (especially non-grass fed).
What we do know is that some people feel better with a 1:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, others feel best with a 2:1 or 4:1 even. I think I'm a 2:1 type myself. Which is nice because its pretty hard to do 1:1 unless you eat lots of vegetable fat and oils but very little meat that isn't fish.
