Like Dr. Oz? ... he spends a good portion of his book, YOU On A Diet on the topic of Inflammation and links to weight gain and health problems!
What is it: Inflammation is part of the body’s natural defense system against infection and toxins using white blood cells to protect your body. Just enough inflammation is supposed to be produced to keep the body protected but our way of living and/or environment can make inflammation a constant in our bodies
Why is it a problem: Inflammation is becoming more recognized as a major cause of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, weight gain and aging in general.
Most Common Causes: The most common cause of extensive inflammation is our diet with sugar, animal fat, processed foods and high-glycemic foods contributing to the internal problem along with lack of exercise. Other things contribute but to a lesser extent, such as environmental allergens,infections, stress,and toxins.
Link to weight gain: Anything that causes inflammation can make you gain weight, and any weight you gain can cause more inflammation.
