Inflammation damages
tissues, causes pain and disease. There
are many causes of inflammation: injury to tissue, a foreign body in the
system, irritation, toxins and many things offered as food to eat. Foods laden
with chemicals and pesticides are foreign and do not belong in the body, and
are recognized as such.
Some inflammation
is good. Inflammation is the first thing caused by the immune system
when a foreign object called an antigen, enters the body or when the body is
damaged in some way. Inflammation in the
short term is a good thing because it helps rid the body of the germs or
toxins, stops infection from spreading to the rest of the body, and stops
bleeding.
Inflammation in the
long-term is devastating.
C-reactive
protein and homocysteine
are some markers for inflammation in the body.These tests are usually run as markers for heart disease, the
number one killer in America. C-reactive protein may also be run to look
for inflammation in arthritis, diabetes or infection.
Over time inflammation
causes more and more damage to tissues and organs, and new research indicates
that most chronic disease is caused by inflammation.
Toxins can cause inflammation and toxins can be stored in
fat cells. This is a way for the body to
protect itself from the toxins hurting organs and blood vessels, however, the
more toxins that are eaten or drank the more fat the body may produce. Burning that fat releases those toxins and it
is important that that be done over time and with support. The body will need to clear the toxins and
the detoxification process is very important when we lose weight.
There are many things in the diet that can cause
inflammation: fake sugars, high fructose corn syrup, too much protein;
artificial sweeteners and preservatives; fried and hydrogenated fats.
The GOOD NEWS:
there are many foods and herbs that can stop the inflammation process.
