Why They're on the List

1. People who frequently ate nuts had lower levels of an inflammatory marker called C-reactive protein (CRP), according to a recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The researchers say that swapping three servings of red meat, processed meat or refined grains (which all increase inflammation) for three helpings of nuts per week is enough to significantly decrease CRP.

2. These fish are high in omega 3 fatty acids, and after taking omega 3 supplements for four months, overweight and sedentary but otherwise healthy adults saw a 10 percent drop in their levels of one inflammation marker, found a study in Brain, Behavior and Immunity.

3. In research published in the Journal of Nutrition, overweight and obese participants saw a drop in CRP when they ate foods that were low on the glycemic index like whole grain breads and legumes. These foods are also excellent sources of fiber, and the higher the fiber intake, the lower subject's levels of CRP, found a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

4. In addition to its healthy unsaturated fats like omega 3s, olive oil contains a compound called oleocanthal, which, research suggests, has anti-inflammatory properties similar to the ibuprofen you pop when you're dealing with aches and pains. (So far, researchers have focused mainly on the compound in extra virgin varieties.)

5. There's a link between deficient vitamin D levels and inflammation (one study in the Journal of Inflammation found that healthy women who had low levels of vitamin D had higher levels of inflammatory markers). So make sure you're getting the recommended 600 IUs of vitamin D per day for women between 19 and 50 years old, because deficiency can also lead to weak bones, and some research has linked it to depression.

6. They give you a dose of probiotics, or live bacteria. When unhealthy bacteria get the upper hand in your gut, they promote inflammation. Probiotics help ensure that the healthy kind of bacteria stay on top instead.

7. They're prebiotics, which are essentially food for the healthy bacteria in your gut to munch on, and help promote even more healthy, non-inflammatory bacteria. Onions are particularly beneficial for your inflammation levels. A recent study in the British Journal of Nutrition found that the polyphenols found in onions were at the top of the list for reducing the production of pro-inflammatory compounds, along with turmeric, grapes, green tea and acai berries.

8. Fruits and vegetables have a double dose of inflammation fighters: fiber and antioxidants. Pick those that are deeply hued (they tend to have more antioxidants) and high in fiber, like berries, dark, leafy greens and root vegetables. Berries and root veggies are staples of the Nordic diet, which lowered the activity levels of inflammatory genes found in fat tissue, according to a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Fibromyalgia 

Before the 70's, fibromyalgia was most commonly known as fibrositis, where “itis” implied an inflammatory component. Despite the understanding of inflammatory pathways to pain, clinical research was unable to identify the role of inflammation in fibromyalgia for many years.

Within the last decade, fibromyalgia research has once again been focusing on the possible contribution of inflammation to disease progression, and is finding some new and interesting results.

Clinical studies have produced evidence that fibromyalgia is associated with the immune system’s improper regulation of proinflammatory cytokines that circulate in the bloodstream, contributing to the dysfunction of the central nervous system and pain-related neurotransmitters. Cytokines, depending on their concentration, induce symptoms, such as fatigue, fever, sleep, pain, and muscle pain, all of which develop in fibromyalgia patients.

These findings are uncovering new possibilities in research for fibromyalgia causation, as well as treatment options. Some experimental pain reduction therapies have been examined and shown positive results, correlating with decreased proinflammatory cytokine levels.⁷ Anticonvulsant drugs, analgesics, opiods and anti-depressants are commonly prescribed to fibromyalgia patients, but tend to carry side effects reflective of the syndrome itself,and many of which lack evidence for effectiveness.

Limited treatment options have led to an increasing use of systemic enzyme therapy as a means to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Certain proteolytic (protein digesting) enzymes have been identified to have extremely beneficial actions when applied to inflammation and pain related to this condition.

It has long been known that people with chronic muscle pain or fibromyalgia have more fibrin in their tissues and blood. This fibrin, while initially helpful in the early stages of healing after an injury, can become problematic if the body does not clear itself of the agent after it has done its work.

Fibromyalgia sufferers experience micro-tears in their muscles from the normal activity of daily living — each and every day. But because the average fibromyalgia patient does not achieve and stay in stage 4 delta sleep at rest, growth hormone is not produced in enough quantities to heal these tears, which leads to more fibrin buildup.

For the most part, people with fibromyalgia do not have a strong enzymatic capacity for producing enzymes that break down fibrin. This leads to a buildup of fibrin, which over time catches red blood cells in a web of restriction. This fibrin causes a restriction of blood flow. Red blood cells literally become stuck, disabling them from getting into the capillaries to oxygenate and nourish the muscles where the metabolic waste that causes pain is removed.

The body uses fibrin to help heal itself after an injury. However, if you have poor blood flow and a lack of enzyme activity, fibrin will start to accumulate. If the injured area is slow to heal, fibrin accumulation appears as clumps of scar tissue in the muscles or at a surgical site.

Ultimately, if excess fibrin is present throughout the circulatory system, blood flow is restricted to areas of the body that need it most. Over time, the body compensates for this restriction by increasing its blood pressure. People with excess fibrin suffer from chronic fatigue, slow healing, inflammation and pain, as well as elevated blood pressure.

Proteolytic enzymes taken on an empty stomach break down these proteins into their smallest elements. The enzymes pass through the stomach and intestinal lining, and enter the bloodstream where they begin the process of breaking down the buildup in the muscles, connective tissue and blood. These enzymes bring nutrition and oxygen-rich blood that can remove the metabolic waste produced by inflammation and excess fibrin.

Serrapeptase has been proven to be the strongest of the proteolytic enzymes, inducing anti-inflammatory, fibrinolytic and anti-edemic (prevents swelling and fluid retention) activity in a number of tissues.

Using enzymes to clear your body of fibrin takes time. It takes years to develop webs of fibrin in your tissues — so be patient, log your usage and, over time, notice how much less pain and how much more flexibility you have.

Serrapeptase has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and fibrinolytic activity, and acts rapidly on localized inflammation with no reports of adverse effects.

Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme extracted from pineapple, has also been found to be effective in reducing inflammation by blocking cytokine production and activity
