Silent Inflammation
What is Silent Inflammation and the
Anti-Inflammation Zone?
Most inflammation can be detected such as pain and
swelling. However, inflammation at the molecular level
may not be detected until it's too late! This is called
Silent Inflammation. Silent Inflammation not only makes
you fat and keeps you fat, but erodes your wellness. (Dr
Sears "The Anti-Inflammation Zone: Reversing the Silent Epidemic That's Destroying Our Health (Zone (Regan)) " book).
A fat cell is programmed to help control the spread of
inflammation throughout the body. When the fat cell is
overwhelmed by external factors such as diet, stress,
and family history, the Silent Inflammation cycle
begins.
Although you can not feel Silent Inflammation, your body
mounts a hormonal response in an attempt to dampen its
affect at the molecular level. If not contained, you now
rapidly accumulate additional body fat. When inflamed
fat cells go bad, Silent Inflammation exits the cell,
enters the plasma and becomes systemic increasing
numerous health risks related to heart, brain and immune
function.
However, by controlling and minimizing Silent
Inflammation within the fat cell, the desired hormonal
foundation for controlling excess weight gain,
successful weight loss and optimal heart, brain and
immune function is a reality. You will not only affect
your quality of life today, but many years in the
future. Read Dr Sears book the Anti-Inflammation Zone.
Q: What is the easiest way to reduce silent
inflammation?
A:
Efficient reduction of silent inflammation requires
using high dose ultra refined fish oil on a lifetime
basis. This is why you want to use the most concentrated
form of long chain omega 3 fatty acids enriched with
EPA/DHA with the lowest levels of toxic contaminants,
such as PCBs and dioxins.
Simply take an adequate amount of OmegaRx Omega 3 ultra
refined fish oil concentrate once a day. This will
positively affect both the AA/EPA and TG/HDL ratio, two
powerful bio-markers for wellness.
The Anti-Inflammation Zone
Reducing the Silent Inflammation Epidemic
That's Destroying Our Health!
Silent inflammation is a condition that occurs when the body's
natural immune response goes awry. It's been linked to heart
disease, cancer, diabetes, even dementia and other health
threats and it can go on for years, undetected.
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Sears offers the first
comprehensive plan to combat silent inflammation. The Zone
dietary plan-including supplements of high-dose, ultra refined
fish oil - is the best way to achieve the hormonal control you
need to reduce inflammation. In The Anti-Inflammation Zone, Dr.
Sears shows exactly what steps to follow to reduce your risk of
each disease and condition, or to reverse it if you have it
already. The Zone Diet Lifestyle Program includes a week of
delicious Zone - friendly meals, easy home exercises, and
important stress-reducing methods - all of which work together
to put you on a path toward wellness that will improve the rest
of your life.
The day you start fighting silent inflammation is the day that
you start to slow down the aging process - and all the chronic
diseases that comes with it. Welcome to The Anti-Inflammation Zone: Reversing the Silent Epidemic That's Destroying Our Health (Zone (Regan)) - and the return to Wellness.
Why Get in the Zone to Control Silent
Inflammation?
Zone Science is a whole new way of thinking about food. It’s
not about low-fat meals, fat-free carbohydrates, or high-protein
regimens with prolonged hunger and deprivation. These programs
are doomed to failure and create health risks because they fail
to identify and understand the molecular basis of weight loss
and lifetime wellness.
Weight gain and the inability to shed unwanted pounds are far
more complex than you could ever imagine. Simple slogans such as
"calories in, calories out" or "eat less, exercise more" have
little impact on the growing obesity epidemic not only in this
country, but throughout the world. Excess weight gain is caused
by an inflammatory condition within the fat cell and left
uncontrolled makes it increasingly difficult to stop the
accumulation of body fat and reduce excess weight. When inflamed
fat cells go bad this triggers systemic inflammation throughout
the body increasing numerous health risks related to heart,
brain and immune function, just like a virus. Calorie
restriction or increased exercise is forever doomed to failure
unless you first control inflammation within the fat cell.
Controlling inflammation in the fat cell requires an
understanding of how three inter-related hormonal systems
dictate excess weight gain and the ability to successfully
reduce body fat. It’s not about calories; it’s about hormonal
balance within a Zone that makes weight loss a reality without
hunger or deprivation. No drug can reverse this inflammatory
condition, only the foods you eat!
Unfortunately, we can’t feel this type of inflammation within
the fat cell and we take no action to prevent its silent assault
on heart, brain and immune function. Our inability to
successfully reduce excess body fat due to increased
inflammation becomes a potent stimulator of higher levels of
increased inflammation throughout the body. Ultimately, the
quality of life slowly declines before chronic health risks
surface all caused by Silent Inflammation. (Dr Sears "The Anti-Inflammation Zone: Reversing the Silent Epidemic That's Destroying Our Health (Zone (Regan))" book).
Although you can not feel Silent Inflammation, your body
mounts a formidable hormonal response in an attempt to dampen
its affect at the molecular level. If not contained, you now
rapidly accumulate additional body fat and systemic inflammation
is triggered throughout the entire body. By controlling Silent
Inflammation within the fat cell, the desired hormonal
foundation for controlling excess weight gain, successful weight
loss and optimal heart, brain and immune function is a reality.
The foods you eat are key to your
success for controlling the balance of the three hormones that
regulate Silent Inflammation and weight loss. The levels of
these hormones dramatically increase as you age and must be
normalized to help control this delicate hormonal balance within
a Zone. These three hormones are
Insulin, Cortisol, and
Eicosanoids. Every meal and snack determines this balance,
good or bad, for the next 4-6 hours each and everyday. Not only
can you reduce excess body fat without hunger and fatigue, but
you will also reduce Silent Inflammation levels throughout the
body that dramatically affect your quality of life today and
many years in the future.
When Fat Cells go Bad
A fat cell is programmed to help control the spread of
inflammation throughout the body. When the fat cell is
overwhelmed by external factors such as diet, stress, and
genetics, the Silent Inflammation Cycle begins.
Insulin is controlled by the balance of protein and
carbohydrate at each meal. Elevated insulin levels
automatically:
■ Store all excess calories as fat
■
Make you constantly hungry
■ Generate Silent Inflammation within the fat cell
■ Prevent the burning of stored body fat
Elevated insulin releases Cortisol. Cortisol is produced to
control Silent Inflammation within the fat cell. If Insulin is
not controlled by the diet, excess Cortisol production cannot be
regulated and continues fueling the cycle within the fat cell.
Insulin resistance and the rapid accumulation of body fat is the
result. Other factors that increase the release of cortisol are
stress and sleep deprivation.
If the Silent Inflammation Cycle continues unchecked, Silent
Inflammation exits the cell, enters the plasma and now becomes
systemic. When fat cells go bad, Eicosanoids, the body’s most
powerful hormones that control the heart, brain and immune
system go bad too!
Optimal Eicosanoid balance is controlled by the types of
dietary fat we eat. Omega-3 fats rich in EPA and DHA are your
best fats to help control Silent Inflammation both within the
cell and systemically. Daily supplementation with highly
purified Omega-3 concentrates enriched with EPA/DHA has the
fastest and most dramatic effect on Silent Inflammation levels
throughout the body as compared to any food source.*
Maintaining Insulin, Cortisol and Eicosanoids levels within a
therapeutic Zone are the dietary keys for establishing a
life-long weight maintenance and wellness strategy.
