Fighting Inflammation

In an article called, Inflammation: The New Medical "Bad Guy", by Bruce Bailey, Ph.D., starts by writing, "according to the latest medical theory, chronic inflammation is the root cause of almost every disease suffered by human beings." This should NOT be new news to anyone, as Hippocrates had this same theory hundreds of years ago.

What is inflammation?

According to Dr. Bailey, "as a part of our immune response system, inflammation occurs when the body is fighting germs that enter the body through a variety of ways, e.g. injury or inhalation. When you experience redness, swelling, heat, infection, and pain from a variety of ailments, it's a sign of inflammation".

So what happens if we fail to effectively fight and/or stop the inflammation? Dr. Bailey says"normally, the inflammation goes away when the body has conquered the infection or injury, but if the body fails to shut off the inflammation process, a more serious condition can occur."

What types of serious conditions is Dr. Bailey talking about? The most serious condition is a heart attack. If you have never considered inflammation and a heart attack related, look at Dr. Bailey's response to how inflammation can cause a heart attack.

"It is generally recognized that heart attacks occur when the blood vessels become clogged with 'plaque' (what we usually refer to as the bad LDL cholesterol) that is deposited on the vessel walls. This bad cholesterol also gets embedded inside arteries and our immune system 'attacks' it. Persistent inflammation in the arteries can eventually cause plaque to burst. Now many doctors use a simple blood test for inflammation called CRP (short for C-reactive Protein) to help assess a person's cardiac risk. CRP is an index of inflammation in the arteries and the CRP increases as inflammation increases. For example, test have shown that middle aged men with high CRP levels in their blood were three times more likely to suffer a heart attack in the next 6 years than men with normal levels. Medical experts say that a CRP of 3.0 mg/L or higher triples your heart attack risk. People with CRP less than 0.5 mg/L rarely have heart attacks."

How can we prevent heart attacks, fight inflammation, and lower our cholesterol all at the same time?

Most doctors will tell you diet and exercise are the best ways to lower cholesterol. However, does diet and exercise help fight inflammation? "According to the Center for Human Nutrition at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, some foods can cause inflammation while others can decrease it. Diets that are rich in fruits and vegetables, and foods that offer lots of Omega-3 fatty acids (such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, and walnuts) are best. Further, a diet of such foods has been shown to be instrumental in weight reduction, and lowering CRP and insulin resistance."

Since "chronic inflammation is the root cause of almost every disease" including heart attacks, we should take every measure possible to keep our bodies healthy and operating at peak performance. One way to keep your body operating efficiently and to also combat any germs and/or toxins that may exist inside your body is to drink TriVita's Sonoran Bloom Nopalea on a daily basis.

Why? Because Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ helps to fight inflammation naturally, through betalains, a very effective anti-inflammatory fighter which is found in the Nopal cactus, the key ingredient of Nopalea.

If it's true what Hippocrates said many years ago, that "all disease is one", and what doctors agree upon today, "chronic inflammation is the root cause of almost every disease", and if the majority of diseases are in some way related to inflammation, germs and toxins, doesn't it make sense to try TriVita's Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™,
