So many people struggle with inflammation.
In fact, anti-inflammatory drugs are the #1-selling drugs in the world.
Here are the 10 most common causes of inflammation:
1. Gluten consumption and food allergies: Gluten can lead to a leaky gut, a condition where food particles leak through the small intestine. Leaky gut is one of the most common causes of inflammation. Pinpointing a food allergy can also help clear up gut inflammation.
2. Ultra-processed food ingredients: Ultra-processed foods like synthetic sugars, modified food starches, and seed oils go through several industrial processes to the point that they no longer resemble their original form. These foods cause free-radical damage and inflammation in the body.
3. Viruses: Viruses can go in and out of remission, causing inflammatory conditions that come and go. This is often triggered by stress, which increases your cortisol levels and suppresses your immune system.
4. Insulin resistance: Frequent eating and carb consumption lead to insulin resistance. Most of the population is insulin-resistant.
5. Lack of cortisol: Chronic stress over a long period of time can lead to cortisol resistance.
6. Old injuries: Lack of movement and a sedentary lifestyle can lead to inflammation.
7. Sludge in bile ducts: Without adequate bile salts, bile sludge can back up into the liver, causing right shoulder pain and rhomboid pain. This can be corrected by a healthy diet.
8. Too much iron: This is typically caused by a genetic issue and is more common in men.
9. Hypoxia: Conditions like COPD, cirrhosis of the liver, clogged arteries, and sleep apnea can cause hypoxia, a lack of oxygen.
10. Uric acid: Uric acid is one of the most common causes of high blood pressure and comes from high fructose consumption.
