Inflammation and Your Diet > Cliff Sheats
Research suggests that the typical Western diet, high in pro-cessed foods, sugar, and saturated fat may trigger the body to release inflammatory chemicals that stay in the body. This chronic low level of inflammation may be the plat-form on which several chronic diseases spring, including heart disease, diabetes, Al-zheimer’s disease, some can-cers, and aging. Most of the time, however, inflamma-tion is a lifesaver that helps our bodies to fight off vari-ous disease-causing organ-isms.
