How do I know if I have inflammation?
Inflammation is one
of those buzzwords that everyone uses more often in the nutrition industry, and
because we encounter it so often, we hope that everyone knows exactly what it
means, but we can certainly know that inflammation affects us, especially if we
suffer it daily.
While there is an
obvious definition of inflammation - swelling - when it occurs inside your
body, it is much more insidious and is considered one of the main triggers of
the disease.
What is
inflammation?
In a very basic
sense, think about what happens when you cut your finger. It swells and turns
red and hot as the body sends white blood cells to the injury site to prevent
foreign invaders from causing infection. The inflammation caused by this
reaction is inflammation, and it is good, in this case. Or if you sprain your
ankle or burn yourself, the resulting inflammation is part of the healing
process. This is acute inflammation. Chronic inflammation is another story.
Chronic inflammation
occurs internally and starts out in a similar way to acute inflammation - the
body's response to a foreign invader, bacteria, or anything else that causes
damage. Most chronic inflammation originates in the intestine. Let's say, for
example, that you have a sensitivity to gluten, but are not aware of it. Every
time you eat gluten, the proteins cause your digestive tract to swell while an
immune response is triggered by the body in response to the protein. Your body
mounts an immune response to the small intestine in response to gluten protein
damage. Maybe you were born with a sensitivity to gluten, or maybe you have
developed it throughout your life. Maybe you notice some gas or bloating, but
you don't think about it much.
Either way, the
damage and inflammation get worse and worse and slowly spreads through your
system (systemic inflammation). You may notice that a reaction to various foods
begins (digestive symptoms every time you eat certain foods) and leaky gut
syndrome has developed. Or perhaps then you are diagnosed with an inflammatory
digestive disease, such as Crohn's disease, colitis or IB.
Soon this chronic
inflammation of the digestive tract begins to deplete your immune system, which
is constantly reacting to fire. An immune system that has constantly reacted is
one of the causes of autoimmune disease, not to mention that if your immune
system is always on guard it cannot fully attend to its other duties, such as
scavenging for abnormal cells. In the case of cardiovascular disease, for
example, arterial damage and inflammation is caused by oxidized cholesterol
(perhaps from eating bad fats, processed foods, excess sugar). When cholesterol
is oxidized, it can irritate the tissues where it occurs (as it is used for
arterial repair), such as the endothelium (lining of the arteries). This is one
of the many causes of chronic inflammation that can damage the lining of the
arteries.

What
Causes Inflammation?
Let's break it down:
A bad
diet:
Eating foods that
cause inflammation such as sugar, factory-grown grains, high omega 6 meat,
refined vegetable oils such as canola, corn or soybean oil (read more here),
conventional dairy products, processed foods, alcohol, tobacco, recreational
and over-the-counter medicines; a gluten-rich diet from sandwiches, pasta,
cookies, baked goods, and other refined grain-based foods.
Sloppy
lifestyle
Not sleeping 8 hours
or sleeping poorly, working too much, stress caused by relationships, work,
family; no exercise or relief stress like fun activities, meditation; living in
a dense, urban area, environmental toxins or pollutants (including cleaning
products, cosmetics).
Poor
digestion
Food that has not
been digested properly due to gastrointestinal irritation, resulting in
inflammation and leaky gut syndrome.
Exercise
Tired but force
yourself to run 5 miles for exercise? This is a major stress factor in the body,
you should carry out a moderate exercise routine, neither very sedentary nor
very demanding, which is normal.
Compromised
Detoxification: If your liver is stressed and unable to detox properly, toxins
build up in the system and contribute to inflammation.
How do
you know if you have inflammation?
Inflammation has been
called "the silent killer," but here are some signs to tell if you
have it:
·
Joint
irritation or ongoing muscle pain
·
Allergies
or asthma
·
Hypertension
·
Sugar in
the blood
·
Ulcers
·
Syndrome
of the Irritable Bowel, other digestive problems
·
Fatigue
·
Skin
problems or chronic irritations / rashes
Here are some blood
test markers:
·
High
sensitivity of C-reactive Protein (AS-PCR)
·
High
homocysteine levels
·
Elevated
ferritin in the blood
·
Elevated
levels of LDL cholesterol
·
Elevated
monocytes (secondary indicator)
·
Elevated
blood glucose (main indicator)
How to
manage inflammation
To reduce
inflammation, it's time to examine not only what you are eating, but also
address your stress level and lifestyle. Include the following
anti-inflammatory foods in your diet:
1.
Eat foods
rich in omega 3, such as salmon, (and other fatty fish), sardines, free range
animal meat, green leafy vegetables, chia seeds, walnuts.
2.
Get
plenty of antioxidant-rich fruits and veggies, especially blueberries, papaya,
broccoli, spinach / chard / kale (green leafy vegetables).
3.
Drink
green tea.
4.
Add
beneficial spices like the anti-inflammatory wonder turmeric. Also, ginger,
cinnamon, garlic.
5.
Take
fermented cod liver oil or Nordic Naturals Omega 3 fatty acid supplements.
6.
Use free
range animal butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and avocado. Avoid vegetable oils.
7.
Avoid
sodas and sugary drinks. Avoid excess coffee.
8.
Do a
liver detox.
Improve
lifestyle
Sleep 8 hours daily.
Enjoy your life and have healthy relationships. Get treatment if necessary. Do
not you work too much. Get the right exercise. Do fun activities and relieve
stress, it can be gardening, singing, or photography.
Neuropathy can
present with many differing symptoms, including numbness, pain of different
types, weakness, or loss of balance, depending on the type of nerve involved.
Because the autonomic nerves control bodily functions that we do not
consciously think of, such as heart rate, digestion, and emptying of the bowel and bladder, autonomic
neuropathy manifests with symptoms affecting the loss of control of these
functions. Symptoms may include problems with blood pressure, voiding, passage of stools (diarrhea, or constipation),
heart rate, or sweating.
