NATURAL SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE INFLAMMATION

Scientists have concluded that high blood sugar, or

hyperglycemia, is not the principal cause of inflammation in

people with diabetes. Instead, anti-inflammatory drugs can

2

decrease diabetes long-term complications. Persistent

inflammation that eventually starts damaging healthy cells,

tissues, and organs must exist for damage to happen throughout

the body.

Mitochondria are considered the "source of power" of energy for

the cells in your body because they take in nutrients, break them

down, and produce energy-rich molecules for cell consumption.

Scientist Nikolajczyk, B., and Lauffenberger, D., were first

studying a theory that immune cells in individuals with type 2

diabetes could have energy by burning glucose for fuel. While

their approach proved false, Nikolajczyk, B. observed during the

research that they found conclusive evidence that many damaged

mitochondria and high levels of a particular type of fatty tissue

were driving ongoing inflammation.1

In this study, it was assumed that high blood sugar levels were to

blame and that achieving healthier blood sugar level levels was

the key to decreasing inflammation. It also revealed that

modifications in mitochondria of people who have diabetes are

the primary source of inflammation.

Scientists identified that adding an inflammatory protein called

"interleukin-1" into the bloodstream leads to cells to mobilize

excess glucose, which produced inflammation. Interleukin-1 had

the very same inflammatory effect in individuals with and without

existing diabetes. After administering an anti-inflammatory drug,

the inflammatory reaction did not occur, and the glucose was no

longer able to get in and harm the cells. In conclusion, decreasing

inflammation might prevent issues. The relationship between

inflammation and its role in diabetes complications was

4

introduced in a research study published in 2014. This study's

title is ‘New insights into insulin: The anti-inflammatory effect and

its clinical relevance’ when researchers discovered that glucose

could not damage cells body without inflammation.2 This means

that lowering inflammation could drastically assist secure against

diabetes problems. Reducing inflammation is necessary because

decreasing inflammation may be easier than lowering blood sugar

levels for patients with type 2 diabetes fighting severe insulin

resistance and beta-cell dysfunction. How can you reduce

inflammation naturally? There are numerous methods you can

lower inflammation in your body to lower your danger of

establishing issues. Minimizing inflammation also means

minimizing insulin resistance, which will further lower your blood

sugar level levels.

How can you fuel your mitochondria?

Here are some foods that may help:

1. Protein: Its role is to protect the mitochondria.

2. Omega-3 fatty acids: Its role is to build up the mitochondria’s

protective membranes.

3. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Its role is to secure the defensive

barrier that protects the body against free radical damage or

oxidative stress.

4. Curcumin (Turmeric): Its role is to prevent mitochondrial

dysfunction in the brain.

5. Taurine (an amino acid): Its role is to regulate mitochondrial

protein synthesis, protecting against free radical damage or

oxidative stress.

6. Yerba mate: Its role is to stimulate the biogenesis of

mitochondria.

Exercise is among the most potent anti-inflammatory resources

at your doorstep, and it does not utilize many resources either. By

making only a couple of changes to your everyday practices, you

could significantly decrease your body's inflammation levels and

minimize your risk of diabetes complications. That could be one

reason we can get a person with diabetes to lose weight and

exercise; they will have less damage to their capillary.

Obesity and physical inactivity are associated with persistent low-

grade inflammation, which supplies the ordinary soil from which

many metabolic diseases develop. Regular workout (like jogging

or even simply walking for 30 minutes a day during your lunch

break, after work, or after supper) not just helps to decrease your

blood glucose, it lowers inflammation levels throughout your

whole body, too. As you reduce inflammation, you fall into insulin

7

resistance, which means you can naturally improve your body's

ability to minimize your blood sugar levels, too.

While a couple of alcohol glasses of moderate strength are no big

deal for a person with diabetes, drinking alcohol more than one

or two nights a week can contribute heavily to general

inflammation for people with diabetes. If alcohol is present in your

body, it creates destruction on various elements of your health.

The more you drink, the more potential damage alcohol can

trigger. Heavy alcohol usage contributes to systemic

inflammation by disrupting the body's natural defenses versus

increasing gut microbiota and enhancing a positive immune

response.

Following are some essential nutrition tips while trying to

prevent excess inflammation.

• Give your healthy body nutrients with anti-inflammatory and

immune-enhancing properties like the options given

throughout this book.

• Fuel your mitochondria with the proper nutrients.

• Stop consuming processed foods like margarine, corn oil,

fried foods, etc.

• It is a better choice to stick to unsweetened vanilla or almond

milk instead of pure dairy milk.

• Limit your gluten intake to once a day

• Provide your body with calories obtained from whole-food

gluten-free sources like fruit, vegetables, beans, and lean

protein from chicken, turkey, and eggs.

9

• Avoid eating an excessive amount of simple carbohydrates,

such as white flour, refined sugar, white rice, and anything

with high fructose corn syrup.

• Track the number of grams of sugar you eat every day and

drink.

• Cut out all sweet beverages since you can quickly cut 50 to

100 grams of sugar from your diet overnight by drinking

more water and just an occasional sweet drink.

• Limit your sweet cravings as much as possible snack on

healthy fruits or vegetables. A change in habits can impact

your health.

• Decrease inflammatory foods like dairy, sugar, and gluten.

• Remember that chronic stress leads to inflammation. Try

new methods like meditation, yoga, or other ways that you

prefer to manage your stress levels throughout the day.

Suppose you consume cow's milk, consume bread and pasta

daily, and drink sugar throughout your day. In that case, there is

a great deal of capacity for reducing inflammation just by

changing these routines with much healthier ones.
