The immune system is one of the most complex and incredible elements of the human body and it is able to identify alien presence, which includes bacteria and viruses that may be harmful to the body. The immune system is sub-divided into two major parts, such as the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. You were born with a completely intact innate immunity at birth, which comes with a defensive barricade like stomach acid and mucus. The innate immune system keeps out every outside threat such as cough reflex, fevers and many other antigens.
As you keep growing and developing in life, the adaptive immune system grows, adapts and develops also. Each exposure to an illness or germ is carefully documented by the adaptive immune system and this helps the body put together an automatic defense against such an illness or germ whenever you get exposed to it. An intricate system of cells, chemicals and biological pathways are used to achieve this adaptive immune process.
The inflammatory process is a very normal function of the body. The immune system activates inflammation to control tissue damage or an intruder when a potential threat is recognized. Chemical mediators known as cytokines act as indicator for the enlistment of other immune system parts which speed up the healing process by bringing about inflammation. Different proteins and cells such as white blood cells are stimulated by the immune system to restore damaged tissues and get rid of intruders and potential threats.
The inflammatory process is an integral part of the general healing process, including the healing of wounds and it is also a helpful system for getting rid of intruding microorganisms. Inflammation and the immune system go hand in hand, allowing helpful antibodies to enter into the needed area and stimulate other crucial parts of the immune system's response to speed up the healing process.
The inflammatory process of response is a succession of defense signals and systems that take on anti-inflammatory cells to the damaged area, which sequentially activates other cells that triggerother defensive systems and the like. The swelling and pain associated with inflammation are only an over-magnified response to threat or harm.
The immune system can cause extreme or unnecessary inflammation if it gets compromised or out of control. The immune system has the ability to read distress signals (a protein known as antigen) on the surface of various cells, interpret the signal and effectively launch an attack if the cell is a likely harmful virus or bacteria. When the immune system loses part of its ability to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy cells; it is said to be dysfunctional. When the immune system becomes overactive or defective, it begins to attack healthy cells and tissues which culminate to autoimmune disease. Inflammation is a form of protection in a healthy immune system, but when it becomes defective or overactive, the inflammatory turns on healthy cells and tissues in the body instead of invaders.
Inflammation can be helpful or harmful to the body; consequently, it becomes important to understand the difference between acute and chronic inflammation. Acute inflammation happens inside a few minutes to hours with noticeable symptoms such as pain and swelling. Usually, the pain, swelling and redness that are experienced are a controlled reaction that will leave as healing takes place. This kind of inflammatory response is a sign of healing and healthy restoration of the body.
Alternatively, chronic inflammation is an indication of a more severe underlying condition with much less obvious signs. This inflammation type tends to linger for several days, weeks, and for years if not treated and it is very likely to lead to continuous and severe tissue damage and inflammatory diseases. Chronic inflammation has been connected to rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, heart disease, asthma and other severe medical conditions.
Although, chronic inflammatory signs can be subtle, there are revealing indications to know if you have chronic inflammation, including:
Mood swings
Gum disease
Excess weight and obesity
Fatigue and constant weakness
Rashes
Joint pain
Digestive problems such as bloating
Brain fog and recurrent headaches
Certain food types have been known to cause inflammation and some other foods are known to fight and reduce inflammation. Diet is an important key in the fight against chronic inflammation. If you are suffering from an inflammatory or autoimmune condition, here are some common foods that cause inflammation:
Alcohol
Alcohol is a major cause of several disorders, medical conditions and diseases; and many of these diseases and medical conditions are related to inflammation.
Artificial Ingredients
MSG and aspartame are artificial ingredients that can trigger chronic inflammation.
Casein and Dairy
Lactose allergy or sensitive can be a contributing factor to inflammation. Dairy also contains casein proteins which have a comparable structure to gluten, which can be a threat to gluten-sensitive people and cause inflammation.
Gluten
The immune system of people with celiac disease or that are sensitive to gluten will take gluten protein as a potential threat; an immune response will be launched that will attack the intestines, causing nutrients malabsorption, and if left unchecked can lead to autoimmune disorders.
Refined Carbs
Refined carbs such as cookies, pasta, cakes etc, can contribute to inflammation.
Trans Fats and Saturated Fats
Systemic inflammation can be caused by consuming trans-fats. Tissue inflammation can be caused by the consumption of saturated fats which contributes to sever chronic inflammation and heart disease.
Sugar
Inflammatory pathways in the body can be induced by inflammatory chemical prompts caused by sugar consumption.
Your way of life is equally as important as your dietary choices. Attaining excellent health calls for a suitable anti-inflammatory diet, avoiding unwarranted stress, habitual exercise {30-60minutes, 4 or more times weekly} and getting enough sleep. The anti-inflammatory diet with some basic daily-life changes will help you prevent the risk of severe health problems caused by inflammation. You can enjoy a stress-free and better life with little or no illnesses.
Chronic inflammation directly or indirectly contributes to many diseases and severe medical conditions, such as: cancer, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The drastic reduction and elimination of inflammation is possible and one major way it can be achieved is through dietary choices. Eating a diet that is anti-inflammatory will help to fight chronic inflammation, protect the body against a number of diseases, increase metabolism, stabilize blood sugar and sequentially slow the process of aging. Here are few anti-inflammatory diet tips to consider for optimal health:
Eat a fiber rich diet that is rich in phytonutrients found in whole foods, whole grains (like oatmeal and barley) veggies (such as onions, eggplants and okra) and fruits (such as blueberries and bananas). Eat not less than 25g of fiber daily.
Consume 4 servings of crucifers and alliums per week. Crucifers such as Brussels sprouts, mustard greens, cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli; and alliums, including leek, onions, scallions and garlic. Consuming at least 4 servings of crucifers and alliums can help lower cancer susceptibility.
Eat surplus amounts of veggies and fruits. Eat not less than 9 servings of veggies and fruits daily. 1 serving equals 1 cup of a raw leafy veggie or 1/2 cup cooked veggie or fruit. For extra antioxidant properties, add spices and herbs, such as ginger and turmeric to your cooked veggies and fruits.
Eat foods that are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, such as soy beans, kidney beans, navy beans, walnuts and flax meal. You can also eat cold water fish such as anchovies,sardines, trout, mackerel, herring, oysters and salmon. You can also take high quality omega-3 supplements.
Consume less saturated fat. Saturated fat should be reduced to not more than 10% of your total calories per day. Reduced saturated fat will limit heart disease risk. Red meat should also be limited to once weekly, and should be well marinated with unsweetened fruit juices, tart, spices and herbs to limit toxic compound that forms while cooking.
Use healthy oils while cooking, such as organic expeller-pressed canola oil, extra virgin olive oil, expeller pressed high-oleic versions of safflower oil and sunflower oil.
Consume low fat fish such as cold water fish and low fat fish such as flounder and sole that are filled with healthy fats.
Avoid refined sugars and sweeteners, processed foods and foods high in sodium or containing high-fructose corn syrup. These foods contribute to chronic inflammation.
Consume healthy snacks such as, walnuts, almonds, pistachios, carrots, celery sticks, unsweetened or plain Greek-style yogurt and fruits.
Add spices (like thyme, sage, ginger, rosemary, turmeric, cinnamon and cloves) to your food and sweetened with phytonutrients filled fruits, such as carrots, berries, apricots and apples.
Eliminate trans-fat from your diet, research show that trans-fat contributes to inflammation. Avoid foods that contain partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated oils, such as cookies, crackers, some margarines and veggie shortenings.
