Stop inflammation, start feeling great

The hidden culprit that’s linked to all the chronic diseases... Hi {NAME}, There’s a hidden culprit that’s linked to all the chronic diseases of aging: It’s inflammation. You’re probably familiar with the pain, swelling, redness, and heat that classically signify inflammation. It’s something just about everyone out there has experienced because inflammation is a normal part of the body’s natural defense system. When your body senses foreign invaders, a specific cascade of events is set off in which your white blood cells and some special chemicals called cytokines mobilize to protect you. This normal type of inflammation is a good thing. It helps your body protect and heal itself. But, when your immune system shifts out of balance, inflammation can run rampant—causing a chronic, smoldering fire inside your body that contributes to disease. The causes of this type of inflammation are all around you. A high-sugar diet, having the wrong oils and fats in your diet (like canola, corn, soy, and peanut), hidden food allergens, lack of exercise, chronic stress, and hidden infections all trigger a raging, unseen inflammation deep in your cells and tissues. And this inflammation leads to every one of the major chronic diseases of aging—heart disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia, and more. It’s also a major contributor to obesity. Luckily, there’s a lot we can due to reduce inflammation. Ditching processed foods and eating a low-sugar, low-starch diet, full of real foods and high in antioxidants from colorful vegetables and omega-3’s from things like walnuts and fatty fish is one major step towards better health. Reducing stress is another helpful approach, through activities like meditation, walks outside, time with loved ones, and deep breathing. Supplements are also a really beneficial tool for reducing inflammation to prevent and even reverse chronic disease. If you’re dealing with inflammatory issues of the gut, like ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, talk to your practitioner about using the [Metagenics UltraInflamX PLUS 360]( medical food for an anti-inflammatory cleanse.
