Inflammation, causes, and early detection benefits

[Shared Joy]

I would like to share two articles.

One is about the C reactive protein, which is regularly checked in labs but few consider its further implications for diagnosis and prevention of further complications:

The second article summarizes some already discussed issues about cholesterol and its lipoproteins, inflammation factors, vitamins, heat and cardiovascular diseases, but is a thoroughly built material from Dr. Mercola, with video and transcript.

En-joy, and take care of yourself!

CRP and high-resolution CRP is meanwhile quite mainstream, most alternative medical practitioners use it for monitoring overall levels of inflammation. Even mainstream medicine uses it for that ...

It has been discussed in this thread.

Choline in Eggs Reduces Inflammation​

Story at a glance:

• Choline is a crucial nutrient for healthy fetal development and the function of your brain, nervous system, mitochondria and cardiovascular system. It also plays a role in metabolism and DNA synthesis
• According to recent research, eggs, which are rich in choline, have anti-inflammatory activity and can be particularly useful in those with insulin resistance and/or metabolic syndrome
• A small amount of choline is produced by your liver. The rest must be supplied through your diet. The recommended adequate intake for choline is about 550 milligrams a day, but many get nowhere near this amount. Some estimates suggest 90% of the U.S. population is deficient in choline
• Studies have linked higher choline intake to a range of benefits, including a decreased risk for heart disease, a 24% decreased risk for breast cancer, and the prevention of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
• NAFLD is the most common form of liver disease in the U.S., and prevalence has skyrocketed among children in recent years. Choline deficiency may be driving factor in this trend because if you don’t have enough choline, any dietary fat, and any food the liver can turn into fat, such as refined sugar and ethanol (alcohol), will promote the accumulation of liver fat

Excessive intake of sugar: An accomplice of inflammation

High sugar intake has long been recognized as a potential environmental risk factor for increased incidence of many non-communicable diseases, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Dietary sugars are ...
