Natural Inflammation and Pain Relief

Inflammation is the body's basic emergency response system and is linked with Heart disease. Inflammation is natural system response when the body is under attack. The immune system then rallies to fight it off. It sends waves of white blood cells to destroy the invader, and eventually layers of clot cholesterol and immune cells pile up. They can become unstable lesions that rupture, triggering a heart attack.

Higher risk groups include are those that are overweight, smoke, highly stressed or consume a carbohydrate rich diet.

Metabolic syndrome (syndrome X)is a name for a group of risk factors that occur together and increase the risk for coronary artery disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. The metabolic disorder that appears to be connected to a variety of conditions from obesity to diabetes to hypertension and heart disease. Often its sufferers are overweight and unable to use traditional methods to stabilize their weight, glucose levels, and blood pressure.

It's easy to see how diabetes, Syndrome X, and heart disease are all interconnected. All three are rooted in problems metabolising sugar (and our abundant consumption of it), and the inflammation of the organs, arteries, and tissues this sugar ultimately causes.

Chronic high blood sugar will do two key things:

1. Sugar inflames the lining of the arteries. As a response, the arteries produce substances such as prostaglandin and cytokines that trigger spasms, endothelial stickiness, and clogging up—the genesis of heart disease.
2. Excess sugar causes insulin spiking that over time can fatigue the pancreas and cause inflammation that leads to insulin resistance—a condition where inflamed cells can no longer accept or use insulin to pull glucose from the blood and convert it to energy. Insulin resistance is a classic pre-cursor to diabetes, as well as a frequent companion to Syndrome X.
