ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DIET - Susan Lombardi
Introduction
The anti-inflammatory diet aims at ridding the body of toxins and chemicals in most normal diets and giving the body the building blocks, and it needs to heal. Reduction of inflammation can help prevent serious health problems, including heart disease and autoimmune disorders. Research suggests that the inflammation parts an important role in many of the chronic health problems which are growing in age. The anti-inflammatory diet is full of naturally occurring, whole, healthy foods. Perhaps the most important component of an anti-inflammatory diet is fruits and vegetables. Since plant-based foods are a natural source of essential vitamins and minerals, they can provide the nutrients we need without all the calories. The best vegetables are dark leafy greens like kale or spinach, which are rich in nutrients and contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.
For a sweet treat, eat a handful of antioxidant-rich berries, or some potassium-rich banana. Don't have to be boring on salads; with carrots, peas, onions, and more to top your greens. Dairy is not banned from an anti-inflammatory diet, but experts recommend reducing the amount of whole-fat dairy that we eat when inflammation is an issue. Dairy contains plenty of saturated fat, which may increase the risk of cholesterol and heart disease, and this may reverse the champions ' good diet. Some cheeses, like feta, are, of course, better for you than their refined counterparts and can avoid the need to completely eliminate milk. Alternatives to butter, like olive oil, can also help to reduce intake.
The anti-inflammatory diet is not only a low-carbs diet, and therefore the addition of whole-grain bread, whole-grain pasta, brown rice, and other grains into meals is allowed. However, it is best to eat only whole grains, and avoid foods made from white flour and high in sugar. One excellent source is oatmeal, such as quinoa, brown rice, and many others. These whole-grain foods contain lots of fiber, promoting healthy digestion and reducing inflammation on the whole body. Use these to make salads, grain bowls, and healthy side dishes. Seafood is an important complement to an anti-inflammatory diet. If you don't like salmon, that is a popular choice, choose a milder fish like tilapia, trout or arctic char. Many fish have high omega-3 fatty acid levels that help fight inflammation and promote heart health. At least try eating seafood twice a week, preferably rather than red meat, particularly processed meat.
In volatile conditions, the book thoroughly discussed all these food components and their functions.
Chapter 1: Inflammation
Inflammation is a crucial part of the immune system's reaction to injury and infection. It is the way the body activates the immune system for healing and restoring damaged tissue, and it protects itself against foreign invaders, such as viruses and bacteria. Wounds would fester as a physiological response without treatment, and infections may turn deadly. It can, however, become problematic if the inflammatory process goes on for a longer period of time or if the inflammatory process occurs in places where it is not necessary. Chronic inflammation has been related to certain diseases such as heart disease or stroke, and can also lead to disorders that are autoimmune such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. But a healthy diet and lifestyle will help keep the inflammation under control.
Consider inflammation as the body's natural response in defending itself against damage. There are two types: acute and chronic. You are probably more familiar with the acute form that happens when you strike your knee or cut your finger. Your immune system dispatches an army of WBCs that surround and protect the body, causing noticeable redness and swelling. If you contract an illness such as flu or pneumonia, the process works similarly. In these conditions, however, inflammation is necessary— without it, injuries could become festering, and simple infections could be life-threatening.
But chronic inflammation can also present in response to other unhealthy substances in the body, such as toxins from cigarette smoke or an excess of fat cells (especially belly fat). Inflammation within the arteries helps kick off atherosclerosis— the formation of a plaque that is high in fat and cholesterol. The body considers this plaque as strange and alien, so it tries to wall away from the plaque from the blood that flows in. But if that wall splits, then the plaque breaks. The contents then combine with blood, forming a clot that blocks blood flow. These clots are responsible for the bulk of heart attacks and most strokes.
A simple blood test, known as the hsCRP test, can measure C-reactive protein (CRP), which is an inflammatory marker for artery inflammation. Harvard researchers found almost 20 years ago that men with higher CRP levels— around 2 milligrams per liter (mg / L) or higher — have three times the risk of heart attack and half the risk of stroke as that in men with low or no chronic inflammation. Researchers also found that the most beneficial to people with the highest degree of arterial inflammation was aspirin, a drug that helps prevent blood clots and also dampens inflammation.
Yet several doctors do not routinely recommend the hsCRP test, because they do not feel the results will primarily impact the condition. If you're young and healthy, and you're at low risk for heart disease, there's no proof that knowing your CRP level is beneficial. If you have cardiac disease, you should already take medicines such as a cholesterol-lowering statin, which reduces the risk of heart attacks. Statins do appear to work especially well, as with aspirin, in people with arterial inflammation. One research has also found that statins decrease the risk of death in individuals with normal cholesterol levels but CRP levels of 2 mg / L or greater. So, if you are middle-aged or over and have signs of potential heart problems, such as high blood pressure level, high cholesterol level, or a family history of heart disease, knowing that you have a high level of CRP that leads you into more proactive heart safety actions. These include regular aerobic exercise, and weight loss (if necessary), and avoidance of smoking.
1.2 Types of Inflammation
There are two types of inflammation:
Acute inflammation
Chronic Inflammation
Acute Inflammation
Acute inflammation accompanies a knee injury, a sprained ankle, or a sore throat. It's a short-term solution with localized effects, meaning it operates at the exact location where there is a problem. As per the National Library of Medicine, the telltale signs of acute inflammation include redness, swelling, heat, and at times pain and loss of function. Blood vessels dilate in the case of acute inflammation, blood flow increases, and white blood cells surround the injured area to promote healing, Dr. Scott Walker, a family practice physician at Gunnison Valley Hospital in Utah, said. This reaction is what makes the injured area red and gets swollen.
During the process of acute inflammation, the compromised tissue releases chemicals known as cytokines. The cytokines serve as emergency signals
that carry immune cells, hormones, and nutrients into your body to fix the issue, Walker said.
In addition, hormone-like substances known as prostaglandins produce blood clots to regenerate damaged tissue and, as part of the healing process, cause pain and fever too. The acute inflammation slowly subsides as the body heals.
Chronic Inflammation
Like acute inflammation, chronic inflammation can have long-term and whole-body consequences. Chronic inflammation is also called chronic, low-grade inflammation because it causes a constant, low-level inflammation throughout the body, as measured by a small rise in immune system markers found in blood or tissue. This form of systemic inflammation can contribute to the development of the disease, according to a review in the Johns Hopkins Health Review.
Low levels of inflammation can be caused by a perceived internal threat, even when there isn't a disease to combat or an injury to treat, and sometimes this gives signals to the immune system to answer. Because of this, white blood cells swarm but have
