The Science of Inflammation

Inflammation is regulated by a group of hormones known as prostaglandins. Some of these hormones intensify the inflammatory response while others reduce it. The good news is that you can influence this system by dietary changes. Try the following. In six to eight weeks you will begin to notice the results.

Eliminate polyunsaturated vegetable oils and partially hydrogenated oils from your diet - these fats encourage the synthesis of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins. Also eliminate trans-fatty acid sources such as margarine and vegetable shortening.

Use olive oil and increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids by eating wild Alaskan salmon, sardines, walnuts, freshly ground flaxseeds and soy foods. The omega-3s increase production of inhibitory prostaglandins. (If you don't like the taste of fish, try a fish oil supplement with both DHA and EPA.)

Add ginger and turmeric to your diet - both are natural anti-inflammatory agents that help modify the balance of prostaglandins.

GlycoNutrients & their Role in Inflammation

Why GlycoNutrient powder and topical phyto-estrogen / glyconutrient creams work.

Nutrition affects every aspect of health, including how the body will respond to the numerous environmental insults it encounters each day. Unfortunately, in our fast-paced society, proper nutrition has become a low priority. Clearly, good nutrition enables the body to deal more effectively with many pathologic conditions, including inflammation. This concept is supported by our own research in which administration of mannans, polymers of mannose, prevented arthritic flares in rats.1 2 Also, mannose, as well as N-acetylglucosamine, inhibit radical production by neutrophils.3 4 This implies that saccharides limit tissue damage.

Furthermore, certain oligosaccharides can inhibit one of the initial steps necessary for neutrophil migration out of the blood.5 Since the neutrophil is the hallmark cell of inflammation and its presence is crucial to the inflammatory response,6 7 the above interaction could serve as a novel anti-inflammatory target. Finally, there exist numerous studies cited in the literature that attest to the diverse biological activities of mannans and other carbohydrates.8 The fact that carbohydrates can modulate cell migration, radical production, and clearance of certain pathogens indicates the pivotal role of saccharides in one of our most basic defense mechanisms.
