Various causes for inflammation in your body - 2

Real Nutrients:  You have to realize that when you are down with chronic inflammation, it means that one of the cause could also be because our body is starving for want of real nutrients.  Yes, you may be eating a lot of food which you think is good but as mentioned, most of those what you eat contains if it contains preservatives, added color, and chemicals, carcinogens it provide no real nutrients but only harm your body, so real nutrients is what you require to keep away chronic inflammation and that can be obtained only from organic food from fresh and leafy vegetables, fruits, raw nuts and seeds, healthy fats like avocado, coconut, olive oil, grass-fed meets, wild-caught fish, sprouted grains, goji berries, raw honey and quinoa apart from many other organic food.  Even the milk that you think is healthy is not at all healthy when it is pasteurized and homogenized(I will come to this subject in a later episode), if you are drinking milk it should be from grass-fed cow which is very healthy.  You are not giving your body these food which it yearns. 

We need to avoid white bread, processed food, conventional dairy products, processed drinks and sodas, fried foods, fast food, wheat products, starchy product made from corn or potatoes, refined sugary foods, processed meat, barbeque meat, pork and go for organic foods mentioned above, and then see the difference in your health, do not expect the difference in 1 or 2 weeks after continuous organic food, it will take months to get in the feel good, look good mood and for you to enjoy vibrant health.  So you have to give your body real food with real nutrients, micronutrients, vitamins and minerals.

So like I said if you eat processed food, at the time of eating your taste buds will like it very much and want more, and that is only due to the added chemical flavors and colors added to it, and your body has no option but to accept it but then it cannot do much.  You will not notice the negative symptoms right away, negative symptoms will be known only after a long time, your body in the beginning will try its best to absorb whatever nutrients is there in the processed food which is next to nothing at the same time you body’s immune system will be fighting the foreign substance in the processed unhealthy food, assuming it to be foreign invaders and thus body suffers, inflammation starts to set in, as you go on eating such unhealthy food, the, the inflammation becomes chronic and then starts the cycle which finally ends in autoimmune diseases and in many cases cancer.

Various causes for inflammation in your body - 1

Some of the reasons for chronic inflammation are given below so that we can take preventive steps even at this stage and see whether we can undo the harm that has been caused that made our body go into an inflammation mode, though it is not an easy step, we need to try.  Remember everything is possible, even cure for cancer is possible, and there is proof all over the world, but we should believe in it:

Body is overtaxed:  Although our body can process a surprising number of toxins, as we age, as lifestyle, diet changes, the body has to handle twice or thrice the amount of toxins that was handled previously.  May be your grandmother didn’t have to deal with 50% of the new chemicals that you have to handle today, there are more chemicals in our environment than ever before, from our food, beauty product, the air, whatever you take in hand there is chemicals and also the thought and buried emotional package that we carry through mindset.  Due to all these your immune system is exhausted and overworked.  There are many food that your body is not made to absorb or digest like gluten, wheat, refined sugar, chemicals, additives, artificial color, processed foods, naturally all these triggers the body’s immune response and bring the inflammatory cells to fight and trying to clear it and in the process a continuous attack which we call as chronic inflammation happens.  In other cases, in the process of such immune response, continuously attacking the foreign matters, without success makes the immune system transform, mutate and thus a never ending chronic inflammation from which there is no end.

Stress: I would say stress is one of the top reasons that contributes to chronic inflammation in the body.  Stress plays a big role in our health.  Most of us are always in a state of stress for various reasons and Cortisol, the main stress hormone, is considered as one of the primary factor in the connection between stress and disease.  Although, small amount of cortisol is helpful during a fight or flight scenario, triggering adrenaline and helping us in sudden unexpected situations.  Continuous stress causing large amount of cortisol can slowly wear down our systems and cause big problems.  Remember when you are in a stressed state continuously which is what we all are, energy is directed away from the immune system, digestive system and other important areas and hence when this energy is taken away due to chronic stress, the body becomes weaker and more inflamed.
