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.

Leptin Protects Your Brain, Energizes Your Body

The fat-hormone leptin must get into your brain in order to activate your metabolism and help protect your brain from inflammation and damage. A new study documents that leptin even protects brain cells from low oxygen states that are related to stroke damage.

Low Vitamin D Sets the Stage for Inflammatory Decline

A recent study has shown that vitamin D levels in healthy women are inversely related to their amount of inflammatory TNFa. TNFa is a potent immune system signal that induces the inflammatory response. This information sheds light on the mechanism involved with how a lack of vitamin D leads to so many health problems.

Vitamin D Improves Cardiovascular Markers During Weight Loss

During a 12 month weight loss program individuals taking 3,320 IU of vitamin D per day (83 µg/d) significantly improved various parameters indicating better cardiovascular health.

DHA May Help Prevent Macular Degeneration

The omega 3 essential fatty acid known as DHA is intimately involved with eye health from a very early age and a number of epidemiologic studies have indicated that omega 3 oils may reduce the risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). A new animal study by researchers at the National Eye Institute (NIH) sought to identify molecular mechanisms involved. The researchers showed that a diet high in omega 3 oils can significantly prevent and in some cases reverse the AMD-like lesions in their animal model.

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.

Grape Extract Reduces Fat Cell Inflammation

The health of your white adipose tissue is central to your well being. Virtually any condition of poor metabolic function has unfit fat as a primary component of the problem. For example, as inflammation rises insulin resistance sets in. A new study shows that grape extract can reduce the inflammatory signals coming from human fat cells and resolve insulin resistance, making this a valuable nutrient as part of your weight management efforts.

Human Study Proves Resveratrol Lowers Inflammatory Gene Signaling

A common dietary supplement form of resveratrol, taken at the relatively low dose of 40 mg per day for 6 weeks, could turn down the primary inflammatory gene signal known as NF-kappaB and consequently lower key markers of inflammation such as TNFa, IL6, and C-reactive protein. Since the inflammatory problem is underlying the deteriorating health of just about anyone, including the process of accelerated aging, this human study data is very significant.

Maitake Mushroom Reduces Intestinal Inflammation

Excessive intestinal inflammation is a troubling health problem because it induces irritable bowel, reduces natural immune defenses, creates a GI tract environment more prone to hostile flora imbalance, contributes to indigestion and food allergy, and opens the door for the “leaky gut” wherein GI tract toxins enter the general circulation. A study with maitake mushroom (Grifola frondosa) demonstrates potent GI tract anti-inflammatory effects leading the authors to conclude that maitake mushroom is a “valuable medicinal food for IBD [irritable bowel disease] treatment, and thus may be used as an alternative medicine for IBD.

Q10 Reduces Free Radical Damage from Exercise

Several recent studies have confirmed that coenzyme Q10 is a great nutrient to help you get a better response to exercise. I have long recommended Q10 prior to jogging. These studies confirm that Q10 reduces the amount of free radicals and inflammation generated during exercise.
