About this listen
Inflammation is much more than a sprained ankle, you can see it, feel it, bandage, and maybe take an Over-The-Counter anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen to help. Inflammation in the body however can go unrecognized for years, you do not see it, and most often, do not feel it. Also, you will not recognize anything is wrong.
Inflammation is a normal and important process that occurs in response to illness, injury, or harmful agents in the body. It involves immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators, and serves to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury, clear out damaged cells and tissues, and initiate tissue repair. However, in some diseases like arthritis, inflammation can occur even when there are no invaders to fight.[1]
Inflammation in the body passes goes through phases; first it becomes Acute, and then Chronic if the cause is not removed. Type 2 Diabetes and Inflammation are linked. In this book, we will look at inflammatory chemicals called cytokines that link Obesity, a risk factor for diabetes and diabetes itself.
The good news is that an Anti-Inflammatory Lifestyle, including exercise, and a more healthful Eating Pattern, can help produce a strong anti-inflammatory effect in the body and reduce the risk, prevent Type 2 Diabetes. If T2D is present, it can help reduce or reverse the need for Diabetes medication. The Anti-Inflammatory lifestyle may also help other chronic autoimmune disorders.
What is an Eating Pattern? The term eating pattern generally refers to what you eat and drink on a regular basis, but it can also encompass behaviours such as where, when, why, and how you eat. These different eating habits can affect your lifestyle and ability to stay committed to food and fitness goals.[2]
The Mediterranean Eating Pattern is commonly referred to as the “Mediterranean Diet.” It is one of the most studied eating patterns and is often linked to heart health, but its principals are equally applicable for diabetics and others with chronic inflammation disorders. I prefer the term “eating pattern” to “diet.” perhaps it was the diet tag that kept me away from it when I needed it most. Do not let it keep you away!
Other eating patterns:
- Nordic
- Paleo
- Japanese
- Vegetarian
- The Harvard Dish
