Inflammation and Heart Disease
No matter if you eat "heart-healthy" diet, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy weight you can still be at risk for heart disease.This is because the root cause of heart disease is inflammation, and managing inflammation goes beyond standard prevention advice.
If you are following popular guidelines by eating a whole grain diet and opting for whole wheat bread may seem like a healthy choice; however research suggests that as many as one in five people have a gluten sensitivity.
For the gluten-intolerant person, even whole wheat products cause inflammation, increasing the risk of heart disease. In fact, more and more people are discovering that they can significantly reduce inflammation by eliminating grains all together.
Other foods—such as dairy or eggs—may also cause sensitivities and increase inflammation. An anti-inflammatory diet can help ferret out which foods increase inflammation.
Other causes of inflammation include: an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the gut, poor function of the digestive organs, and gastric irritation. All play a role in increasing the risk of heart disease.
Studies suggest that the overgrowth of one strain of gastric bacteria in particular—"H. pylori"—increases the risk of heart disease. Caused by insufficient acidity in the stomach, the usually symptomless H. pylori is responsible for peptic ulcers—a condition estimated to affect many Americans.
How inflammation increases the risk of heart disease
Inflammation creates lesions on arterial walls, thus contributing to the formation of plaque within the arteries—a process known as "atherosclerosis". In order to quickly repair the lesions, the body "patches" them up with cholesterol. Although an effective short-term fix, this eventually leads to the creation of artery-clogging plaque, and drives up the risk of a heart attack.
People in the U.S. with hypothyroidism have it as a result of Hashimoto's disease—an autoimmune disease that attacks and destroys the thyroid gland. An unmanaged autoimmune condition is another factor that can lead to chronic inflammation, increasing the risk of heart disease.
You can see why reducing inflammation is at the root of reducing your risk of heart disease, and why statin drugs do not address the root cause for most people. The source of inflammation can vary for each individual, but typically it involves evaluating one's diet, immune health, and digestive function.
