What do heart disease, stroke, arthritis, colitis, fibromyalgia, lupus, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, chronic fatigue, and Alzheimer’s have in common? Well, yes, they’re all diseases, but the A-plus answer is that they’re all caused by or associated with inflammation.
Scientists are finding that the common cause in a long list of illnesses is an inflammatory process that’s run out of control. Inflammation is controlled by a group of hormones called prostaglandins. Some prostaglandins promote inflammation, others reduce it. You can affect these hormones through a number of factors, including emotions, lifestyle, and especially diet.
