One of the most surprising things I learned from my Dad’s physician was that, in many cases, cancer has a strong connection to ongoing, systemic inflammation. As I learned more about diet and prevention, doctors like Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn wrote how heart disease is a disease of inflammation, too, in many, many cases. The list of what has, at it’s root cause, inflammation, is a very long list.
But what was empowering to me was the fact that the body has a mechanism in place for reducing and eliminating inflammation. Think about it: If you get a cut on your finger, it swells up for a bit, you wash the cut, maybe put a bandaid on it, and then forget about it. The cut heals and the inflammation goes away.
In this video, I explain systemic inflammation and take a look at what it causes, but more importantly, look at the three primary reasons why so many are dealing with various expressions of inflammation, in the first place. The great news is that all three reasons are something we can, individually, do something about, which I find very empowering!
