TechnoratiOther sources of Inflammation
Inflammation can come from many sources asides from our joints. Inflammation is also a natural response by our immune system that protects us from bacteria, viruses, allergens, yeast overgrowth and other foreign invaders. Obesity and excess adipose tissue will also trigger the release of additional inflammatory complexes into our body. Yet the greatest source of inflammation for most Americans comes from out digestive system.
There are millions of people who constantly struggle with bloating, indigestion, heartburn and other irritable bowel like problems who are constantly irritating their digestive system and triggers additional inflammation. This daily assault of inflammation in their digestive system, plus the inflammation from your joints and an overworked immune system and excess weight can easily exceed the amount of inflammation your body can effectively handle. This is why repairing your digestive system is critical in helping those who struggle with joint pain.
It doesn’t matter where the inflammation comes from. The only question is can your body produce enough natural anti-inflammatory chemicals or molecules to counteract all the inflammation that is occurring in the body.
Simple Steps to follow
A complete protocol for overcoming joint pain and inflammation is to attack the problem from both ends. Decrease the amount of saturated and trans fats. Increase the amount of monounsaturated fats. This will reduce the amount of inflammation. Add proteolytic enzymes to breakdown whatever inflammation that is NOT controlled by the fish oils and monounsaturated fats. This two step approach has worked wonders on all those suffering from pain due to inflammation. FYI…proteolytic enzymes are great for allergies, sinusitis and sports injuries and training.
Most importantly repair your digestive system…look at adding digestive enzymes, identify and remove ‘hidden’ food allergies, and combine your foods properly. I’ve found that when I reduced the irritation and inflammation from my patients tummy, their pain subsided considerably. This is simply because we reduced the total amount of inflammation floating around in their body. It’s simple, effective and most of all natural.
