Chronic Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is a major causative factor in practically every illness and it also accelerates the aging process. Hence the term “Inflamm-Aging”.
It is caused by:
- 1. Cellular energy (ATP) depletion
- 2. Oxidative stress (Free radicals).
- 3. Unhealthy bacteria in your intestines (Dysbiosis)
These three factors activate NF-kB gene signaling to up-regulate the gene coding for pro-inflammatory substances (IL1,6; TNF, PGE2 and LTB4).
Inflammation begins with an immune response and 75% of your immune system resides in the lining of your intestinal microbiota (the bacteria in your gut mucosal lining).
A rotten gut microbiota (Dysbiosis) causes the release of LPS (ENDOTOXIN) - a toxin emitted from the bad bacteria in your gut that excessively stimulates the immune system to increase inflammation (by increasing PGE2 and inflammatory cytokines) via NF-KB.
Accelerated Aging
It is caused by:
- 1. Chronic Inflammation (as previously discussed).
- 2. The loss of defenses against Aging Pathologies that can cause both an excessive buildup (anabolic) of dysfunctional tissue and an excessive breakdown (catabolic) of tissue structure and function.
- 3. Loss of strength and amplitude of the diphasic cycle. Research published in the scientific literature shows that this is the mechanism that fails in accelerated aging.
Stop the Inflamm-Aging Process by Making A Quality Decision to:
- 1. Follow the Anti-Inflammatory Diet to avoid Diet Induced Inflammation.
- 2. Supplement your diet with Nutri-Spec Formulations to ensure that you have the wide variety of nutrients necessary to fuel adequate cellular energy production (ATP synthesis), optimize your antioxidant defense and maintain a healthy gut microbiota.
The DNP is Your Guide.
Without adequate defenses, your body will be both breaking down and clogging up. Thus, the closest we can come to the “Fountain of Youth” for ourselves, is to do everything we can to strengthen our anti-anabolic / anti-catabolic defenses and maintain a high amplitude in our daily diphasic cycle. This maximizes our defenses against Father Time.
This is accomplished with the Diphasic Nutrition Plan (DNP).
