Inflammation & The Health Issues It Causes

 

 

 

 

 

DID YOU KNOW 98% OF ALL DISEASES; HEART DISEASE, DIABETES TYPE-2, ARTHRITIS, AND MANY FORMS OF CANCER, HAVE A BASIC ROOT CAUSE – INFLAMMATION?

Acute inflammation can be good to help the body recover from an injury, accident, or surgery.  So why do most Americans suffer from chronic inflammation? There are many reasons for the cause of inflammation.  Some reasons are controllable and many are not. Chemicals, pollution, smoking, excessive drinking, and excessive sun to the point that it causes a sun burn, are causes of inflammation. There is a major cause of inflammation that all Americans can totally control, inflammation caused by the American diet and the subsequent weight gain and obesity. Just under 50% of Americans, regardless of color, are obese. The controlling factor is diet. The Standard American Diet (SAD) is primarily made up of processed and refined carbohydrates, and sugar. Highly prepared, pre-packaged and refined foods are made from white flour, sugar, highly processed vegetable oils, and cheap soy and corn oils (Omega-6). Over time, this type of diet causes inflammation the same as smoking does. Obesity is now referred to by some medical experts as the new smoking. Can we reduce inflammation once it is on fire in our body? Yes, we totally can! If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, time to switch the diet and lifestyle. The best diet for transformation is a low carbohydrate, low, or no sugar diet.  Many people have great success with the Ketogenic Diet, but it is not for everyone.  The most important diet is the one that works best for your body.   Reframing the word diet is also important.  Diet is a lifestyle and way of living.   Add 20-30 minutes of exercise 3-4 times weekly, and you will really notice a change in your body and your health.

For your health and a balance of your hormones, 7-9 hours of sleep is a must. Make food and healthy lifestyle your medicine. Drugs do not make you healthy!
