Inflammation Relief

Due to our modern day unhealthy lifestyles and the toxins our bodies are exposed to every day, inflammation has now evolved into a destructive process precluding many serious and chronic ailments. The trend in our society towards chemical-laden fast foods and grocery store processed foods has been paramount to the problem due to their inflammation-causing properties. Add to that the high-stress atmosphere in our modern day world, constant exposure to a toxic environment, a vastly overweight population along with rampant obesity; and a deadly cocktail has been born. This "silent" inflammation is a killer and usually remains unnoticed until you fall prey to a disabling autoimmune disorder or crippling disease.

Recent studies, by medical professionals recognise that the real culprit in cases of cardiovascular disease is not so much high cholesterol, but silent and deadly inflammation in our arteries.

Inflammation awareness is vital to preventing and recognizing the signals of silent inflammation. Some situations that can cause you to be more susceptible to the dangers of chronic inflammation are:

• State of being overweight or gross obesity
• Poor diet consisting mostly of fast and processed foods
• Extreme situations of prolonged emotional stress
• Highly strenuous physical activity on a regular basis
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Known exposure to toxins in the environment

Be sure to ask your physician to check your C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, homocysteine,Inflamed Blood Vessel lipoprotein (a) or Lp(a), interleukin6, and fibrinogen levels for inflammatory markers in your blood. CRP blood analysis is especially helpful in determining risk of cardiovascular disease. A scientific research team of physicians headed up by cardiologist Paul Ridker of Harvard University reported that "half of all heart attacks occur in people with normal cholesterol levels". The medical team also established that these additional tests for inflammation are necessary to more accurately predict future risks of heart attack, stroke or heart disease. Cholesterol tests alone simply are not adequate for this determination of future events.

Now that we understand that inflammation is at the root of most major diseases, we can take positive steps to monitor and control our inflammation levels. Changing our diet; controlling our weight; adding a moderate exercise routine; getting enough sleep; and keeping stress to a minimum are all healthy steps to begin reducing inflammation. By adding a highly effective, all natural anti-inflammatory cactus juice to your routine, you will ensure maximum success on your journey to health and wellness.
