DANGERS OF INFLAMMATION
- Inflammation is incredibly difficult on the body.
- When you're obese, your body is often terribly inflamed.
- She had to take care of her younger siblings as a teen while her mother suffered from sicknesses as a result of fat & inflammation.
- There are different levels of inflammation.
- Some inflammation is important - like when your finger is a bit swollen and painful when you have a cut in order to heal.
- Chronic inflammation is the core underlying cause of chronic illness, disease, weight gain.
- Look at cancer, obesity, and more.
- 75% of our population has this sort of inflammation.
- This only emits a trickle of a response.
- This means it doesn't go away.
- You need to intervene yourself.
- If you let cellular inflammation go on, the cells create an imbalance and this causes even more distress.
- You can't heal until that signal is cut off.
- Inflammation is necessary for people to look at when they're trying to optimize both brain and body health.
- The best way to ensure we can keep this inflammation at bay is by eating healthy oils, a nutrient rich diet, and more.
- A low carb high fat diet does this.
- Sugar harms what keeps inflammation away.
