Everyone who has had a sore throat, rash, hives, or a sprained ankle knows about inflammation. Those are normal appropriate responses of our defense system to infection or trauma. We need inflammation to survive.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The trouble occurs when that defense system runs out of control, like a rebel army bent on destroying its own country. Most people are familiar with overactive immune responses and too much inflammation in common conditions like allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune disease or asthma. But few people know that hidden inflammation run amok is at the root of all chronic illness: heart disease, obesity, diabetes, dementia, depression, cancer and even autism.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We may feel healthy, but if this inflammation is raging inside of us, then we have a problem.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So what is the best way to control inflammation while we’re still upstream? First, identify the triggers and causes of inflammation, and then help the body’s natural immune balance reset by providing the right conditions for it to thrive.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Everyone is treating the downstream effects of inflammation, instead of addressing the cause: multiple problems that are really linked together by inflammation.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Once you figure out the cause and get rid of it, how do you live an anti-inflammatory lifestyle? Here is what I recommend. It’s disarmingly simple, but an extraordinarily effective way. Here are 7 ways:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1. Eat a whole food, high fiber, plant-based diet which is inherently anti-inflammatory.⁣⁣
2. Eat healthy fats from olive oil, nuts, avocados and omega 3 fats from small fish like sardines, herring, sable, and wild salmon.⁣⁣
3. Exercise.⁣⁣
4. Learn to actively relax to engage your vagus nerve, the powerful nerve that relaxes your whole body and lowers inflammation, by doing yoga, meditation, deep breathing or even taking a hot bath.⁣⁣
5. If you have food allergies, find out what they are and stop eating them.⁣⁣
6. Take probiotics (“good bacteria”) daily to help your digestion to improve the healthy bacteria in your gut which reduces inflammation.⁣⁣
7. Take a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement which helps reduce inflammation.⁣

Intermittent Fasting is a type of diet in which one regularly forgoes food for a certain period of time, usually somewhere between 14 and 18 hours. While it’s been known that IF increases the rate of hippocampal neurogenesis, the precise nature of the relationship is still poorly understood.

One study using mice revealed an increased activation of the Notch signaling pathway, a type of cell-to-cell communication that’s important to cell differentiation, the process by which immature cells, like stem cells, take on a permanent form and function. In humans, Notch signaling is related to hippocampal neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to create new connections, allowing us to learn and form new memories.

Sometimes less is more!

Adults with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are more likely to develop diabetes and other endocrine system disorders. But scientists know far less about how this link plays out in children.A new study of Arizona children, published in the journal Frontiers in Neurology, seeks to address that issue.

As I have been saying one othe most important things you can do during this crisis is to keep your brain healthy and balanced. The brain is the master regulator of the immune system, the left brain activates the immune system and the right brain dampens it. I will present more research on this , there is a ton of research on this over the last 30 years this is just one small example. Kids and adults with left brain deficits and high right brain are at risk. If your kid or you have a learning disability, dyslexia,processing disorder , dysgraphia , bipolar, dyspraxia, PTSD, Depression all are left brain deficits . Make sure you don’t stop stimulating their brains !!!
