The Silent Cause Of Depression

The Silent Cause Of Depression

 Depression appears to be rather widespread these days :and I hope this article sheds some light on a possible cause:

  •  Depression is increasingly recognized as a problem rooted in chronic inflammation. Cytokines and inflammatory messengers such as CRP, IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-alpha are predictive of and correlate to depression
  • Approximately one-third of depressed patients have high levels of inflammation. Anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to favorably alter neuro-chemical pathways involved in depression
  • Nutritional ketosis drives down inflammation in your body far more effectively than drugs. Animal-based omega-3 and vitamin D are also important anti-inflammatory strategies
