NUTRITION AND INFLAMMATION
Chronic inflammation is a silent contributor to many modern diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis. Emerging evidence underscores the power of nutrition in modulating inflammatory pathways. Diets rich in antioxidants have been shown to lower key inflammatory markers. Conversely, diets high in processed foods, refined sugars, and trans fats can exacerbate inflammation.
Key Insight:
Nutrition isn’t just fuel, it’s a modulator of your body’s inflammatory response. If you’re seeking to reduce chronic inflammation and its associated risks, consider adopting an anti-inflammatory dietary pattern. Consult with a nutrition professional to tailor a plan that supports your health goals.
