14 Signs Of Hidden Inflammation Iin The Body

Hidden Inflammation in the Body

It is important to pay attention to this!

 When most people think of inflammation, they think of a swollen ankle or knee after a sprain or other injury. But inflammation is far more serious.

In fact, it can be said that inflammation is the root of all disease. You may not even see the inflammation, but you can bet it is there, especially if you don’t eat properly or exercise regularly.
That’s because inflammation is actually the body’s natural response to stress—be it dietary, physical, environmental and/or even emotional.

And once your body starts to become inflamed, it puts you at risk for everything from weight gain, migraines, allergies and colds and flus to more serious illnesses such as gout, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and the dreaded ‘C’ word—cancer.

Even the healthiest among us will have some type of inflammation—if you live in today’s fast-paced, toxin-filled world, you have inflammation. The real question is what do you plan to do about it?

Where Does Inflammation Start?

Would you be surprised to learn that most inflammation actually begins in your gut?
People tend to overlook their digestive system as a source of disease, but it makes sense when you consider that our guts are home to about 70 percent of our immune system and where 80 percent or more of our immunoglobulin A (IgA) cells (immune cells) live. (1)

It makes even more sense when you consider our guts are much larger than you might think. In fact, our guts are made of an intricate semi-permeable lining that would cover two tennis courts if stretched out flat!

Our modern world is a difficult place to maintain a healthful balance. Ginger is, hands down, one of the most broadly therapeutic and familiar plant allies available to us to prevent and even reverse a wide range of ailments, with the science supporting its safety and efficacy one of the most robust.

Ginger root (Zingiber officinale) is a powerful medicinal herb that has been used for centuries to keep mankind in balance. Rich in bioactive terpenes, ginger belongs to the same powerhouse plant family, Zingiberaceae, as turmeric and cardamom. Ginger became prized by herbalists around the world during the days of the early spice trade, when it was first exported from India and Southern Asia into Europe.[1] Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda consider ginger to be warming to the system, thus stimulating to the “digestive fire.” Traditional uses reflect this understanding of ginger’s powerful healing properties: it’s known for relieving nausea, aiding digestion, soothing cramps, and improving circulation. Ginger also possesses potent detoxifying properties, stimulating elimination via bowel release and perspiration.
If the benefits of ginger stopped there, it would be a miracle plant food worthy of daily consumption. But modern science has not only validated ginger’s traditional uses, it has put ginger into an elite “superfood” category where the lines between food and medicine become blurred. Sure, ginger can keep your tummy happily humming along. But did you know it may also help prevent you from falling prey to some of the worst health conditions plaguing people today?

A Remedy for What Ails You
With nearly 3,000 years of documented use and almost as many scientific abstracts on ginger’s effectiveness, it can be difficult to narrow down ginger’s five most powerful health benefits. One approach is to cross-reference ginger’s healing properties with the worst disease threats in our world today. The World Health Organization, whose stated mission is to combat diseases around the world, publishes annual statistics on the top ten causes of death, worldwide.[2] In 2017, there are five diseases on the list for which ginger has been shown to provide significant benefit:

• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Lung cancer
• Diabetes
• Diarrheal diseases

Let’s examine the most impactful scientific research that has been conducted on ginger in recent years, to see how ginger can be applied therapeutically and proactively to ward-off and treat disease.

Garlic Compares Favorably To A Best-Selling Blood Pressure Drug

Garlic To Unclog Arteries




 Garlic is a  very healthy vegetable and is beneficial for many ailments.  However, many people are put off by the odour it leaves which is a great shame.


  A groundbreaking new study published in Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences has revealed that garlic is at least as effective as the blockbuster blood pressure lowering drug atenolol in reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients diagnosed with essential hypertension, a condition linked to the #1 cause of death in developed countries.[1]
Hypertension is called a 'silent killer,' as it often goes completely unnoticed, along with the decades long subclinical march of atherosclerosis that is largely the cause of elevated blood pressure, often culminating suddenly in a deadly cardiovascular event such as a heart attack or stroke.

How Stress Influences Your Heart Attack And Stroke Risk

How Stress Influences Your Heart Attack And Stroke Risk

Stress is one of the most dangerous conditions for our health but also the one we have the power to control.

• Stress increases your risk of heart attack and stroke by causing overactivity in your amygdala — your brain’s fear center, which is activated in response to both real and perceived threats
• People who are highly stressed have higher activity in the amygdala. This, in turn, triggers arterial inflammation, which is a risk factor for heart disease, including heart attacks
• High stress also raises your level of disease-promoting white blood cells and releases norepinephrine, which can cause dispersal of bacterial biofilms from your arterial walls, thereby triggering a heart attack

5 Tell Tale Signs You Have Poor Circulation

5 Tell Tale Signs You Have Poor Circulation

Always keen to share posts that may help someone, here is one about the effects of poor circulation and its dangers.

You may not realize it, but your body contains a super highway.

It’s the system of arteries and veins that carry blood to all your organs and tissues. It carries waste away too

 When your circulation system is working well, all of your cells get the nutrients and oxygen that they need and the system functions properly. But when the process slows down or gets blocked, problems can develop.

It’s the system of arteries and veins that carry blood to all your organs and tissues. It carries waste away too.

So, Circulation can be affected by a lot of different conditions.

Problems like:

• Arteriosclerosis: this deadly condition blocks the arteries. It can cause heart attack or stroke.
• High blood pressure: also known as hypertension, it can lead to heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure.
• Peripheral arterial disease: this is a narrowing or blockage of an artery or arteries.
• Chronic venous insufficiency: this prevents blood from flowing properly to superficial veins in our lower extremities.

5 Warning Signs That You Have Poor Circulation

2. Puffy hands and feet. This is caused by slow blood flow. The kidneys try to reduce the load on the body and the result is swelling.

3. Fingers and toes that look blue or are always cold. This happens because your veins are not carrying enough oxygen to the furthest points of the body from the heart and lungs.

4. Constipation. When there is less blood flowing through your body, everything slows down.

5. Exhaustion. The blood and oxygen that flow through your body are carrying fuel that your cells need. When it is not getting there, you are more likely to get out of breath and get tired more easily.

Menaupausal Women On Antidepressants May Be In Danger Of Having A Stroke

Menopausal Women On Antidepressants Are In Danger Of Having a Stroke

 
A study by researchers from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, sounded a warning for menopausal women who are subject to depression.
Depression is already a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease but it seems that taking antidepressants may significantly increase the risk of stroke for women who are postmenopausal.  The study is based on data from the Women’s Health Initiative which was responsible for proving that hormone replacement therapy significantly increased the risk of heart attack, stroke, cancer and death in postmenopausal women.

The End Of Diet Soda

 This is a very alarming fact.  We need to get back to natural products before we kill ourselves.  It was very irresponsible in the first place to allow these Soda drinks to be produced.

One of the largest studies of its kind recently examined the link between diet drinks and cardiovascular issues such as heart attack and stroke in healthy, postmenopausal women. The research took place at the University of Iowa, and the findings were presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 63rd Annual Scientific Session in Washington, D.C.

Nonsmokers at Increased Risk of Stroke From Secondhand Smoke

 Secondhand smoke is classified as a known human carcinogen, meaning it can cause cancer. While smoking is also a risk factor for stroke, it has been unclear whether or not secondhand smoke (SHS) increases risk of stroke for nonsmokers, until now.

Blood Pressure Reading

Blood pressure is a good indicator of how healthy a person is.  It is so important to check this as there are so many conditions that can result from high blood pressure and low blood pressure is not good either.  So many people are unaware of how their lifestyle affects their blood pressure, for instance alcohol consumption, high intake of salt, fast food.

The Scientists are constantly working on finding causes to our illnesses to help us maintain a healthy body.  Our job is to respect this body which is an amazing machine.

Heart Attacks after Vigorous Physical Exercise

 It pays to be cautious when doing vigorous physical exercise as this can lead to stroke and heart attack.  This was proven when Andrew Marr, the BBC Broadcaster, had his stroke after such intense exercise.  He is lucky to be alive.  It proves that even exercise has to be done in moderation, in fact nothing good comes of overdoing things.  Exhaustion follows which is counterproductive to any benefit to health.  As always, moderation is playing it safe!
