16 Surprising Conditions Tied to Food Sensitivities
16 Surprising Conditions Linked to Food Sensitivities - Learn what systems in the body are affected by the inflammatory response, and ways to fix it.
10 Common Signs You Have Chronic Inflammation And What You Can Do About It
Here are 10 common ways to tell if you have chronic inflammation, and what you can do to help your body heal.
Crash Course on Leaky Gut
The lining of our digestive tract is naturally semi-permeable, which means that it allows certain things, such as nutrients, water, and energy to pass through into the bloodstream. This membrane has tiny pores that enable these nutrients to pass through. However, excessive stress and inflammation can result in damage to this lining, causing the holes to enlarge and, in turn, enabling larger, undigested nutrients to leak into the bloodstream. Studies suggest that individuals with autoimmune, inflammatory, and gastrointestinal diseases are more likely to have a 'leaky gut' that allows these big particles through. The particles that leak through can include undigested foods, bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can invade the gut.
Fighting Inflammation Naturally Through Diet
The origin of the following quote is disputed, but it is often attributed to Hippocrates. "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." The message conveyed is that one of the most natural and effective ways to regulate chronic inflammation in the body is through diet. By consuming more foods that have anti-inflammatory properties, while reducing or eliminating common inflammatory foods and beverages, you can help your body fight off inflammation in the long run.
