An Anti-Inflammatory Diet Increases the Risk of Death Due to Cardiovascular Disease and Cancer The anti-inflammatory diet includes foods like fruits, vegetables, coffee, and yes, red wine (see the full list here). Many tout the benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet in lowering the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer's and cancer, but is there any proven science? Yes there is! A recent study found that people who ate an anti-inflammatory diet eaten in high amounts had a lower risk of death by 18% (from any cause), death from cardiovascular disease by 20%, and death from cancer by 13%. [1] But how does an anti-inflammatory diet work to lower the risk of these diseases?  The answer lies in looking at the markers of inflammation. A pro-inflammatory diet increases the makers of chronic inflammation, such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6).

  Chronic Inflammation Increases Risk of Heart Disease, and Most Likely Cancer, But An Anti-Inflammatory Diet Can Help Lower Your Risk. What is inflammation and how does it work? Inflammation can be short-lived or chronically persistent. Short-lived, or acute inflammation, is in response to an injury or infection from a virus or bacteria. This type of inflammation causes the body to make anti-inflammatory cells, as well as chemicals, that stop the inflammation at the site of injury. Here an anti-inflammatory diet can help with this acute inflammation. Chronic inflammation is inflammation that does not resolve on its own and persists. For whatever reason, the inflammatory cells and chemicals that are released when the injury occurs do not work against the inflammation. Chronic inflammation creates an environment that allows DNA damage to occur in healthy cells. If chronic inflammation is not resolved, this damaged DNA

INTRODUCTION Those diagnosed with cancer have grave concerns that typically revolve around quality of life and death. Here are 3 treatment questions that immediately come to mind: - Is this treatment going to work? - Will I be able to handle the side effects of my treatment? - Will this treatment extend my life? Many patients often comply with the treatment the doctor recommends without asking some very important questions about the treatment itself. And rightly so, anyone diagnosed with cancer will tell you that they are emotionally tired, which means they don’t have much mental and physical energy to do anything but eat and sleep. Cancer Treatment Questions Anyone Diagnosed with Cancer Should Ask As a cancer patient advocate, I ask clients to write a list of questions they wanted to ask their doctor, but for some reason, they never got around to asking them. Most of these
