Omega-3 Fatty Acids and the Anti-Inflammatory Diet I recently gave a talk at a cancer survivors' luncheon, and while I was discussing the benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet in cancer prevention, a woman raised her hand and asked, "Does an anti-inflammatory diet lower the risk of breast cancer?" My answer was "Yes!" I proceeded to point out that while there is positive data that shows the benefits of anti-inflammatory supplements or foods containing omega-3 fatty acids in lowering breast cancer risk, they've occurred in animal studies. Unit now! After some more research since that talk, I have found a few studies in humans (well, women unfortunately not men

Lead with Fruit in Your Anti-Inflammatory Diet Lead with fruit if you want to switch to an anti-inflammatory diet. While green vegetables are important, they can be an acquired taste for most. Remember, what fuels inflammation is high sugar, high animal fat, and low fiber, so eating less of these types of foods in your diet and boosting anti-inflammatory foods is key. While some fruit can be high in sugar (e.g., bananas), they are also high in fiber. Additionally, natural sugar and fiber also contain anti-inflammatory nutrients, such as vitamin C, carotenoids, and flavonoids. The benefits of fiber and nutrients include lowering inflammation. Start winning the war against inflammation. Lead with fruit! 4 Portions of Fruit a Day: Surprising Key to Healthy Lungs Even After Air Pollution Exposure Air pollution, which contains fine particles from sources such as automobile exhaust, increases inflammation in the body,

How Are Green Vegetables Anti-Inflammatory? Our recent group of health coaching clients, who were working to transform their health in order to lower their risk of breast cancer, had a lot of questions. One insightful person asked, "I inherently know that green vegetables are good for me because that's what I've been told, and they taste like they are healthy, but how do green vegetables lower inflammation?" My response was "Green vegetables and the anti-inflammatory diet go hand-in-hand because they contain pigments, polyphenols, and fiber, all of which are known to lower inflammation and risk of chronic disease." I proceeded to show them study after study on how green vegetables, or their by-products, can lower inflammation and risk of disease, and here's a summary of that information. Components and Benefits of Green Vegetables In Lowering Inflammation POLYPHENOLS: Green vegetables contain a high

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).

A Pro-Inflammatory Diet Consisting of Ultraprocessed Foods Increases Inflammation in the Body Just when you thought food couldn't be any more processed, watch out, there's now a new category of food called "ultraprocessed foods," and they are staples of a pro-inflammatory diet. Ultra processed foods have at least 5 characteristics, which include: Ready-to-eat food Pre-packaged food Food high in sugar, sodium and saturated or trans-fatty acids Food low in fiber Food low in vitamins and minerals 5 ULTRAPROCESSED FOODS When you think of a pro-inflammatory diet, ultraprocessed foods fall into several categories, mostly breakfast or snack foods. Here are 5 ultraprocessed foods that we think most people probably eat in their daily diet: Breakfast cereals: think Rice Nippies and Corn Snakes Potato chips and pretzels: any kind Crackers: any snack cracker that is made with white flour Frozen pizza: enough said Breakfast bars:

Pro-Inflammatory Foods Like Red Meat and Refined Carbs Increase the Risk of Heart Disease and Cancer Pro-inflammatory foods are linked to a variety of chronic diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and even cancer. Considering that they may cause so many diseases, it's key that you know what these foods are so that you can avoid eating them in a pro-inflammatory diet (or at least drastically limit them in your daily diet). 5 PRO-INFLAMMATORY FOODS IN THE WESTERN DIET 1. Red Meat: beef, lamb 2. Processed Meat: sausage, bacon, deli meats with preservatives (e.g., turkey) 3. Organ Meat: liver, spleen 4. Refined Carbohydrates: cookies, cake, doughnuts, potato chips, crackers, pretzels, white bread, pies, pizza, pasta, fried potatoes (e.g., French fries), fried breads 5.

  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 Astragalus has been consumed in Asia for more than 2,000 years for heart health, autoimmune and allergic diseases, boosting the immune system, and for cancer treatment or in conjunction with chemotherapy. It can be prepared and consumed as a tea, in soups, liquid tinctures, capsules, and sometimes intravenously (in certain hospitals). Astragalus membranaceus (known as Huang Qi) is a plant belonging to the Luguminosae family. It inhabits regions of North America, Africa and Asia. It is primarily produced in China, South Korea, Mongolia, and other regions [11]. The active ingredient is Astragalus membranaceus (the same name as the plant), which comes from the root of the plant. When it comes to disease prevention, and possibly treating various diseases, it checks multiple boxes for maintaining health with the following properties observed either in scientific studies or anecdotally : 1.Anti-diabetes 2. Anit-inflammatory 3. Anti-oxidant 4. Anti-cancer 5. Anti-viral 6. Cardioprotective 7.
