New studies show that an anti-inflammatory diet will reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke

• 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.
