Dial Down Deadly Inflammation NATURALLY

Chronic inflammation is a classic case of “too much of a good thing.”
When it’s acute, it helps your body fight infections, speeds up wound healing, helps prevent further injury, and more.
But when acute inflammation turns chronic, it can lead to devastating tissue, organ, and cell damage.
In fact, it’s estimated that 50 percent of all deaths are linked to inflammation-related diseases.
But you CAN fight back, starting with lifestyle changes. Skip the processed foods, get plenty of sleep, manage stress, and mind your circadian rhythm.
However, for an EXTRA boost, these FIVE powerful anti-inflammatory nutrients have been proven to dial down inflammation.
Omega-3s are healthy fats found in foods like fatty fish and walnuts. However, EPA- and DHA-rich omega-3s or fish oil supplements increase anti-inflammatory substances in your body.
In fact, some studies show taking an omega-3 supplement can reduce the use of steroids and anti-inflammatory drugs in people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Vitamin D deficiency INCREASES chronic inflammation. Of course, the best source of D is from the sun itself. But most people don’t get nearly enough.
But you can get your levels up to snuff by taking a vitamin D supplement.
Curcumin is another heavy anti-inflammatory hitter. It’s the main active ingredient in the spice turmeric. When curcumin is combined with black pepper in supplements, the nutrient helps scavenge the free radicals that CAUSE inflammation.

Studies show taking curcumin supplements can help manage the inflammatory symptoms of diseases ranging from arthritis to metabolic syndrome.
One study even found that folks with ulcerative colitis who took 2 grams of curcumin daily (along with prescription meds) were more likely to stay in remission compared to those who didn’t.
Resveratrol is one of the primary polyphenols in red wine and grapes. And supplements are available as well.
Resveratrol has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. And it improves inflammation in people at risk of heart disease.
Magnesium is vital for more than 400 enzymatic reactions in your body. This includes reducing C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation) and activating vitamin D (which battles inflammation).
It’s nearly impossible in modern society to avoid EVERYTHING that can trigger chronic inflammation these days.
But taking a supplement (or two) that helps fight back is a good insurance policy for staying healthy and feeling good.
