“Evidence suggests that brain inflammation is a key player in neuropsychiatric disorders, the effects of which may be bidirectional. A recent study identified potential links between inflammation and structural alterations in regions of the brain implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders.”

“It carries an increased risk for poor health outcomes including falls, disability, hospitalization, and death. A key driver in the development of frailty is inflammation, which often accompanies diet-induced changes in the gut microbiota.”

“Sulforaphane is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound Prominent features in the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases are oxidative stress and inflammation. Oxidative stress is a natural repercussion of normal metabolic processes during oxidative phosphorylation (the generation of energy) in mitochondria or accompanying hypochlorite generation during immune activation.”

“These findings suggest that omega-3s reduce the risk of breast cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related death among women. Inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of many cancers, including breast cancer.”

“*While this study didn't seem to outline the underlying mechanism connecting the diseases, we know one likely candidate that's participating in both diseases: inflammation. Inflammation damages our DNA through the production of damaging by-products known as reactive nitrogen species.”

“Metformin and berberine differ markedly in their chemical structures and bioavailability, but they share many features in their activities against type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and inflammation.”

“Carotenoids are antioxidants that specialize in photoprotection. "High serum carotenoid levels are...associated with a lower risk of obesity, insulin resistance, inflammation, cognitive dysfunction, and premature death from any cause.".”

“A growing body of evidence suggests that microplastics – tiny plastic particles ranging between 5 millimeters and 100 nanometers – are pro-inflammatory, potentially contributing to chronic disease.”

“These physiological changes lead to higher baseline blood pressure levels and a greater risk of hypertension. Moreover, metabolic factors associated with obesity—such as insulin resistance, inflammation, and altered kidney function—further exacerbate sodium-related blood pressure increases.”

“Obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, which can drive many disease processes. A specialized magnetic resonance imaging technique, called diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), can measure this inflammation in the brain.”
