Ask any health care provider (allopathic or naturopathic) and they will confirm that inflammation is the leading cause of chronic health conditions such as; CVD, insulin resistance and diabetes; stroke, arthritis and a host of digestive disorders such as IBD, Crohn's disease and intestinal permeability.
You see inflammation is the body's way of responding to a health crisis. So if you can prevent inflammation you can prevent chronic illness.
The really mind blowing thing here is that inflammation is preventable and actually reversible in most instances if you just modify your diet and eat a low glycemic, Mediterranean style diet that is based around plants and good fats, lean protein, legumes, nuts and seeds. And, by the way did I mention that the NIH, ADA, AHA and even the AMA have all issued statements advising doctors to have their patients follow a low - glycemic Mediterranean style diet program along with daily exercise and stress reduction first, before putting them on medications?
The question is why aren't more doctors heeding this advice for there patients?
I just spent four days in NYC at an intensive First Line Therapy training and learned more about how to implement this Therapeutic Lifestyle approach to wellness in my coaching practice. Basically, this is a whole lifestyle approach to wellness that teaches you how to make changes that drastically reduce your risk of developing chronic health conditions that are caused by inflammation. It includes not only diet and exercise but stress reduction too.
Stay tuned (or visit my website for a sneak preview) for more details on my new lifestyle program!!! Did I mention you loose weight on this too?
