When the body is damaged, inflammation initiates repair. This applies to all areas, and joints are no exception. Repair is completed as inflammation lessens, but chronic inflammation inhibits the healing process.
Inflammation Contributors
- Diets high in Vegetable, Seed, and Soybean oils containing Omega-6 fats
- Fat from Meat & Egg Yolks, and Sugar & Alcohol
- Lack of Sleep, High Stress, High Body Fat, Autoimmune Genetics, and Age-Related Increases
Identifying and Targeting Immune Molecules
Diets high in inflammatory foods interact with two important enzymes in the body. The COX-2 and 5-LOX enzymes increase molecules called interleukins that are responsible for immune system activation.
- COX-2 can be reduced by Curcumin, the active molecule in Turmeric.
- 5-LOX can be reduced by Boswellia, and now a more powerful extract from the spice Tamarind has become available.
Current research has focused on the 5-LOX initiated inflammatory molecule Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) which has a negative impact on:
- Joint Repair, Respiratory Tract, Vascular, Stroke Outcomes, Neurological Repair, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and Alzheimer’s Disease Complications
