Inflammatory Diseases

Heart Disease and Diabetes are Inflammatory Diseases


Heart disease is not a disease of too much cholesterol in your blood stream. In fact, over half of the patients that suffer a heart attack actually have normal cholesterol levels. Heart disease is the result of low-grade, chronic inflammation of the fine lining of your arteries called the endothelium. As you have learned previously, the overwhelming majority of type 2 Diabetes is the result of a low-grade inflammation of the smallest arteries of the muscle called the capillaries.

This inflammation is the result of excessive free radicals caused by:

High blood pressure

Oxidized or Modified LDL cholesterol

Elevated homocysteine levels

High fatty meals

High-glycemic meals

Elevated insulin levels that are the result of insulin resistance

Central obesity releases inflammatory products
