INFLAMMATION
KEYS TO SHUTTING DOWN INFLAMMATION
ASHWANI GARG, MD
WHAT IS INFLAMMATION?
Inflammation is the body's defense mechanism, a
response to injury or a foreign invader, or even the
body's own cells gone awry. Sometimes the body
wrongly attacks itself (autoimmune disease)
"ALL DISEASE BEGINS IN THE
GUT" -HIPPOCRATES
Hippocrates had this wisdom over 2000 years ago!
Researchers from Cleveland Clinic have shown how
consuming a diet rich in animal fat and proteins can
create substances by gut bacteria to trigger
inflammation in the body, leading to atherosclerosis,
kidney disease, and heart failure
INFLAMMATION IN 1
AREA CAN CAUSE
DAMAGE IN ANOTHER
AREA
Lesson: take care of your teeth! Poor dental health
can result in heart disease, miscarriage, and chronic
fatigue from systemic inflammation
INFLAMMATION IS AT
THE ROOT OF MOST
DISEASES
ANGIOGENESIS
Angiogenesis is the process of
sprouting of blood flow to a
tumor cell, abnormal blood
vessels in the eye, and favorable
circulation in wound healing. Low
back pain is a vascular disease
CAN WE EAT TO BEAT CANCER?
• Dr. William Li, of the Angiogenesis
foundation, conducts research on
chemotherapy
• He has found many substances
present in fruits, veggies, seeds/nuts
that are tumor inhibitors by blocking
the inflammatory pathway to
angiogenesis
WHAT'S WRONG WITH MODERN GRAINS?
• Processed food takes all the
goodness out of a grain and calls it
"enriched"
• Leads to many more problems with
autoimmune and inflammatory
diseases
WHAT TO EAT?
• Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables,
whole grains, and legumes
• Include healthy fats such as
nuts/seeds/avocado/olives
• Include daily servings of green/leafy
vegetables
• Avoid refined oil, processed grain,
sugar, animal products
• Include herbs, spices, and cacao!
OTHER LIFESTYLE FACTORS IN INFLAMMATION
• Exercise can recruit immune cells and
increase oxygen, allowing healing
• Relaxation Response:
mindfulness/meditation/yoga
techniques reduce inflammation and
stimulate repair
• Healing touch
• Acrylamide (formed from charring,
overcooking at high heat)
• Sleep/sleep medication
• Take care of teeth: water-pik/floss
• Don't use alcohol or alcohol based
mouthwash
• Intermittent fasting
• Green tea/matcha
• Anger is like a hot coal
• Bitterness is like drinking poison

  • 1. INFLAMMATION KEYS TO SHUTTING DOWN INFLAMMATION ASHWANI GARG, MD
  • 2. WHAT IS INFLAMMATION? Inflammation is the body's defense mechanism, a response to injury or a foreign invader, or even the body's own cells gone awry. Sometimes the body wrongly attacks itself (autoimmune disease)
  • 3. "ALL DISEASE BEGINS IN THE GUT" -HIPPOCRATES Hippocrates had this wisdom over 2000 years ago! Researchers from Cleveland Clinic have shown how consuming a diet rich in animal fat and proteins can create substances by gut bacteria to trigger inflammation in the body, leading to atherosclerosis, kidney disease, and heart failure
  • 4. INFLAMMATION IN 1 AREA CAN CAUSE DAMAGE IN ANOTHER AREA Lesson: take care of your teeth! Poor dental health can result in heart disease, miscarriage, and chronic fatigue from systemic inflammation
  • 5. INFLAMMATION IS AT THE ROOT OF MOST DISEASES
  • 6. ANGIOGENESIS Angiogenesis is the process of sprouting of blood flow to a tumor cell, abnormal blood vessels in the eye, and favorable circulation in wound healing. Low back pain is a vascular disease
  • 7. CAN WE EAT TO BEAT CANCER? • Dr. William Li, of the Angiogenesis foundation, conducts research on chemotherapy • He has found many substances present in fruits, veggies, seeds/nuts that are tumor inhibitors by blocking the inflammatory pathway to angiogenesis
  • 8. WHAT'S WRONG WITH MODERN GRAINS? • Processed food takes all the goodness out of a grain and calls it "enriched" • Leads to many more problems with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases
  • 9. WHAT TO EAT? • Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes • Include healthy fats such as nuts/seeds/avocado/olives • Include daily servings of green/leafy vegetables • Avoid refined oil, processed grain, sugar, animal products • Include herbs, spices, and cacao!
  • 10. OTHER LIFESTYLE FACTORS IN INFLAMMATION • Exercise can recruit immune cells and increase oxygen, allowing healing • Relaxation Response: mindfulness/meditation/yoga techniques reduce inflammation and stimulate repair • Healing touch • Acrylamide (formed from charring, overcooking at high heat) • Sleep/sleep medication • Take care of teeth: water-pik/floss • Don't use alcohol or alcohol based mouthwash • Intermittent fasting • Green tea/matcha • Anger is like a hot coal • Bitterness is like drinking poison
