Stopping Inflammation

Episode Overview:

ON THE SURFACE, INFLAMMATION IS NOT SUCH A BAD THING.  IT’S THE BODY’S NATURAL RESPONSE TO INJURY AND INFECTIONS. THE REDNESS AND SWELLING ARE ALL PART OF THE HEALING PROCESS. BUT, THE TROUBLE STARTS WHEN THE BODY DOESN’T HEAL COMPLETELY AND THE INFLAMMATION PERSISTS. CHRONIC INFLAMMATION IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF MANY ILLNESSES, AND IT’S BEHIND 80-PERCENT OF DOCTORS’ VISITS IN THIS COUNTRY.

Partha’s Perscriptions:

1. CHRONIC INFLAMMATION IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF SEVERAL OF TODAY’S  ILLNESSES.  IT IS A LINGERING IMMUNE RESPONSE CAUSED BY A POOR DIET AND OTHER FACTORS. THE PAIN IS OFTEN IN THE JOINTS, AND IF LEFT UNCHECKED, INFLAMMATION CAN DAMAGE MANY SYSTEMS WITHIN THE BODY.

2. INFLAMMATION IS FUELED BY CERTAIN FOODS, SUCH AS MEAT, FRIED FOOD, SUGAR, DAIRY PRODUCTS, AND PROCESSED FOODS.

3. ON THE FLIP SIDE, FOODS CONTAINING OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS, FRUITS, VEGETABLES, AND WHOLE GRAINS WILL HELP RELIEVE INFLAMMATION.

4. AND FINALLY, MANAGING YOUR STRESS IS ANOTHER CRITICAL PART OF STOPPING INFLAMMATION.  SO RELAX, MEDITATE, OR PRACTICE YOGA
