Poor Sleep: When you have poor sleep, means that
you have a habit of getting up at night or those with insomnia, the
inflammatory cytokines are secreted at a much higher rate in these people than
those who have deep sleep and do not get up till morning. As all of you know that during sleep, the
body regenerates and the immune system calms down. Lack of restorative sleep is a major promoter
of inflammation. So remember that
adequate sleep and that too deep sleep is very important and if you do not
have deep sleep it means that there is inflammation in your body.
Nutrient Deficiencies: As earlier mentioned your body needs
real nutrients and when it does not get real nutrients then there is going to
be nutrient deficiencies which normally will have a negative impact on the
body. One of which is vitamin D, though
vitamin D is got from sun, a deficiency in getting enough vitamin D can not
only result in chronic inflammation but can also cause depression, decreased
immunity and a number of different autoimmune disease. The other is Vitamin B, especially B6 and
B12. If you are not getting enough vitamin
b, this can also cause inflammation.
Environment Toxins and Free Radicals: There are also
a number of environmental toxins that results in unwarranted inflammation. From the polluted air to various air
fresheners in vehicle and household, household cleaners, plastics that we use
on a daily basis, there are many different toxins and free radicals floating
around that can quickly lead to inflammation and when you are subjected to
these toxins for a long period of time, the end result is chronic inflammation.
You need to remember that many of causes above
will have some other cause also, one needs to find the cause of the
inflammation and cure it, that is what the alternative medicines should do and does.
You might be glad to know that off late the medical
fraternity or conventional medicine, that too a minuscule proportion of
physicians, medical bodies have starting to realize that the need is to locate
the cause like all alternative medicines have been doing since ancient times
but they are calling it 'functional medicines', so here we go a new branch of
medical treatment, old wine in a new bottle. But conventional medicines
is where the money comes in ringing for the medical fraternity or conventional
and pharmaceuticals, so do not expect the big pharmaceuticals to release their
hold so easily.
