C-reactive protein is a molecule produced in the body that is used as a non-specific marker of inflammation. This molecule can be measured in the blood and, although it doesn’t identify the source of inflammation, be it from an infection, injury or virus, its levels rise in response to inflammation in the body. As we know, so many chronic conditions are associated with the inflammatory response to injury. There are practitioners and researchers who are beginning to see chronic inflammation as a single disease presenting as different symptoms of this one condition: cardiovascular disease, arthritis, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, etc. A recent study demonstrated that high levels of C-reactive protein in the blood may result from excessive blood sugar. Fiber-packed whole fruits, vegetables, and grains do a great job of slowing the breakdown of carbohydrates and the absorption of glucose into the blood, thereby lowering C-reactive protein levels. There are also studies indicating the powerful anti- inflammatory and protective effects of flavonoids and other antioxidants, abundantly found in plants, on mammalian cells. Looking at these studies individually might give us clues as to a correlation between inflammation and food. But, consider these findings together in the growing body of research on whole plant foods, along with dietary patterns and the etiology of disease, and you get a big, “wholistic” picture of food and nutrition. SuperTEN & CellENERGY are two of the antioxidants that TEN Vitamin Sprays have available. A few sprays a day can get you on a healthy track. To order Call 336-687-5720 or pm me.
