2. Eat vitamin E-rich foods. There are a group of compounds that are known as Vitamin E and have been found to show antioxidant-like properties. This vitamin is also known as an anti-inflammatory because it has the ability to suppress or inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, thus lowering your prostaglandin levels. The more omega 3 fatty acids blocking the COX 1 enzyme, the fewer omega 6 fatty acids will be converted to prostaglandins. 2  Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids include: sardines, salmon, soybeans, flax seeds, walnuts, tofu and mackerel.

The types of bacteria that cause meningitis vary by age groups.
