Summary
Recent studies have shown that the C-reactive protein (CRP) can be found in people suffering from hypertension and hardened arteries, leading to heart disease. CRP is also an indicator of inflammation and, thus, eating to avoid inflammation can help keep heart disease under control. By avoiding sweets and frozen or processed foods, which are high in inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids, while eating plenty of vegetables and fish, which are high in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, people can reduce their risk of heart disease.

- Some swear it's the Atkin's high protein diet.
- And I've often stressed that a high fiber diet promotes health.
- A report from Tufts University in Boston has an entirely new twist on nutrition and health.
- It claims that if we can decrease inflammation in our body we can also decrease the progression of disease.
- We all know that something is amiss when we have an inflamed throat.
- But no one would give inflammation a second thought as the cause if the doctor--diagnosed high blood pressure, heart disease or arthritis.
- Today hypertension is a major cause of stroke, heart and kidney disease.
- But in 90 percent of cases doctors cannot pinpoint the reason for the hypertension.
- Stiff arteries force the heart to push harder creating hypertension and its complications.
- A study of 20,000 people followed for eight years showed that those who had the highest level of CRP were 50 per cent more likely to develop hypertension.
- Harvard doctors reported that those with the highest CRP concentrations were four and a half times more likely to end up with heart disease.
- This helps to explain why 50 per cent of heart attack victims have normal blood cholesterol.
- For years researchers have known that inflammation is associated with arthritis.
- Now they are more and more convinced that an anti-inflammation diet can help to ease pain of stiff, swollen inflamed joints.
- It's a daily diet that contains more anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids.
- Unfortunately, most people consume 10 times as much pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids.
- A study at the University of Washington showed that people who consumed two or more servings of fish every week were 40 per cent less likely to develop arthritis later on.
- Another way to increase the amount of omega-3 fatty acids is to buy Naturegg.
