The Role of Inflammation in Chronic Diseases
Inflammation has been identified as a major cause of various chronic diseases, including diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cancer, Alzheimer's, and even viral and bacterial infections. The presence of chronic low-grade inflammation in the body makes individuals more susceptible to these diseases. Consuming a diet high in omega-6 fatty acids, found in foods like canola oil, has been linked to increased inflammation. Omega-6 fatty acids, specifically arachidonic acid, are commonly found in the Western diet and are responsible for producing pro-inflammatory mediators. Lowering inflammation by reducing the intake of omega-6 fatty acids is recommended for its potential health benefits.
