Obesity, IL6, and the Cause of Heart Failure

Extra fat does a lot more than clog arteries. Inflammatory proteins coming from fat directly damage the heart – whether you feel just fine or not. That is the conclusion of new John Hopkins Medicine research tracking 7000 obese men and women across the United States – watching them descend from no heart disease into poor cardiovascular health.

Too Much or Too Little Sleep is Inflammatory

A new sleep study demonstrates that sleeping too long as well as sleeping too little goes along with having too much inflammation. It is already known that these types of sleep problems are associated with poor health, disease risk, and increased rates of mortality. This new study links the inflammatory theme as an underlying mechanism affecting all types of sleep duration problems.

Teenage Stress Primes Inflammatory Pump

A new study shows that teenagers in high stress situations (family, peers, school) can elevate the inflammatory marker CRP (C reactive protein) for several years following the stress. Inflammation deactivates nerve function resulting in poor mood and more risk for depression. And the CRP can lead to cardiovascular distress and set the stage for plaque accumulation especially if the teen is eating poorly and gaining weight during the stressful time.

Inflammatory Markers Linked to Fatal Heart Attacks

In a group of 5,680 men and women between the ages of 70 to 82, the presence of elevated inflammatory markers Il-6 and CRP were clear predictors of risk for fatal cardiovascular events.

Magnesium – The Anti-Inflammatory Mineral

A new study of 3,713 postmenopausal women shows that magnesium is a powerful anti-inflammatory nutrient. Each 100 mg of magnesium per day was associated with a significant reduction in various inflammatory markers.

Vitamin B6 Protects Against Inflammation

A new study shows that individuals with the highest vitamin B6 intake had the lowest levels of inflammation. Furthermore, if you are already inflamed then you have a higher need for vitamin B6 to protect yourself.
