  • Summary

  • Nadia Bilchik and Dr. Anton Bilchik discuss the growing research on the link between inflammation and chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. They cover various factors that contribute to inflammation, including:

    • Stress: Stress can lead to elevated levels of corticosteroids and epinephrine, which can negatively impact the immune system.
    • Lifestyle: Exercise, especially resistance training, has anti-inflammatory effects.
    • Nutrition: Processed foods, red meat, and excessive alcohol consumption promote inflammation. The Mediterranean diet, with its emphasis on fruits, vegetables, and lean protein, has anti-inflammatory properties.
    • Environment: Exposure to certain environmental factors, such as cigarette smoke, radiation, and certain chemicals, can increase the risk of inflammation-related diseases.
    • Bacteria and Viruses: Some bacteria, such as H. Pylori, have been linked to cancer development.
    • Gut Microbiome: The trillions of bacteria in our gut communicate with immune cells, and imbalances in this microbiome may contribute to inflammation and disease.

    Tune in for high quality info and insight into how a healthy lifestyle is crucial in reducing inflammation and preventing chronic diseases.
