Silent inflammation is often the cause of chronic diseases

Fat cells are the best storage facilities for inflammation, which does not actively fight the pathogens as in the case of a natural defense reaction, but simmers quietly without any positive benefit.

These so-called silent inflammations can, in contrast to inflammations that are vital as a natural defense reaction of the body against viruses and bacteria, lead to serious health problems in the long term. This often leads to chronic diseases. Cardiovascular problems, arteriosclerosis, arthritis, bronchitis, liver and kidney diseases, Diabetes, Alzheimer's and even Cancer, as a study in 2016 found, are the worst-case consequences. A change in the Nutrition effectively counteract these silent inflammations with the aim of reducing fat.

Anti-inflammatory foods attack fat

Doctors and nutritionists have compiled a list of foods based on scientific data that have been proven to have a clear fat-reducing and anti-inflammatory effect. People with too much body fat should pay attention to the following vital substances in their diet: Omega-3 fatty acids (e.g. fish), beta-carotene (e.g. carrots), lycopene (e.g. tomatoes), vitamins B6, C and B (e.g. nuts, fruit and vegetables), minerals Selenium, magnesium, zinc and chromium (whole grain products) as well as secondary plant substances (e.g. flavonoids in colored fruit and vegetables). They all lead to a sustainable reduction in fat in the long term. This automatically removes the breeding ground for inflammation-causing factors such as free oxygen radicals, saturated fatty acids, cytokines (inflammatory messengers) and macrophages (immune cells that promote inflammation). At the same time, a diet high in sugar, fat and white flour should be avoided. These foods are the main reason for the unhealthy fat deposits. A lack of exercise, which leads to a failure to break down fatty tissue, also promotes the creation of a perfect environment for dangerous subliminal inflammation.

Feel good and healthy through a balanced diet

Even if the medical approach is to stop the silent inflammation, the suggested change in eating habits is only the way to a healthy and balanced diet. It has long been known that less meat and more vegetables and berries have a positive effect on our bodies. The rule of "five portions of fruit and vegetables a day" also applies to ailments and chronic diseases, regardless of the inflammation level. Ultimately, a lifestyle with less fatty and sugary food and sufficient exercise leads to sustainable weight loss in the long term. This is the best long-term prevention to prevent silent inflammations, as the body fat deposits melt away and the disease-causing evil has no chance. As a positive side effect, there is a high probability that your general quality of life will also improve after switching to an anti-inflammatory diet.
