Arthritis and Acai Berries
Arthritis is an inflammatory disorder of the joints that may produce pain and swelling that lasts a lifetime. It affects and limits everyday activities and is a leading cause of disability. Inflammation is a normal part of the body's defense system. It is a natural reaction to injury. Inflammation causes swelling, pain, and redness. It also decreases motion in the affected area. With arthritis, inflammation becomes part of the problem. It causes tissue damage that the body tries to handle by creating more inflammation. This painful cycle of destruction damages the joint and limits its function. The ingredients contained in the acai berry work on the roots of inflammatory conditions. Increasing the bodies ability to get rid of toxins that lead to inflammation and as a result reduce pain. As discussed in the metabolomics section... remember each cell membrane of each cell in our bodies is sending out messengers. These messengers create the inflammation, or the pain we feel in our tissues, organs and joints. Consequently, healing the cell membrane through nutrition can reduce the inflammatory messengers. It has been reported that people with joint problems experience significant improvement when consuming acai juice. Inflammation"At best chronic debilitating diseases (heart disease, cancer, arthritis, obesity, diabetes, asthma, Alzheimer's, and allergies) destroy our quality of life; at worst they are painful, debilitating, and fatal … It is clear, the root cause of diseases is unbridled inflammation." ~Chilton FH. Inflammation Nation. (2005) "Inflammation affects us all - especially today, when so many of us are grappling with the health implications of aging plus an explosion of inflammation-related health problems such as obesity and asthma. Shouldn't inflammation control be a major part of your overall personal health plan?” ~Meggs, WJ. The Inflammation Cure. (2004) "The most powerful concept in disease prevention and treatment today is inflammation. Inflammation may well turn out to be the elusive Holy Grail of medicine - the single phenomenon that holds the key to sickness and health." ~Meggs, WJ. The Inflammation Cure. (2004) |
