Chronic Inflammation, The Secret Killer

Inflammation is a culprit that can lead to chronic pain and serious disease

Inflammation. It seems like you hear about it every day on the news. Scientists are now linking inflammation with a wide variety of conditions. In fact, a leading publication referred to chronic inflammation as the secret killer – revealing inflammation is on the increase causing pain discomfort and a host of dangerous diseases.

Sometimes our own healthy cells become the focus for disease. This often happens because of toxic exposure. When we eat, drink or breathe a toxin, or if it is absorbed through our skin, our detoxification system works to remove it before the poison can compromise our health. Unfortunately, many of today’s poisons are simply too strong and they overwhelm our detoxification system and enter healthy cells. These cells now become the target of disease, infection and inflammation. Our immune system must treat them as hostile and use heat to destroy them.

When you’re injured, the inflammatory response immediately moves into action. White blood cells rush to the scene of the damage and begin to destroy the damaged cells, while sending out chemical signals that call for more help. That’s when unstable molecules called free radicals are released. Free radicals, now considered key players in many diseases, start to attack the damaged area, destroying some healthy cells in the process. This new damage leads to yet another round of inflammation. And so the cycle of inflammation continues: called chronic inflammation. And that’s when the trouble begins! Chronic inflammation can lead to cancer, cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimers, neurological diseases, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, diabetes II and pulmonary diseases.

The Nopal Cactus has been called a superfruit for a reason – that’s because of the high powered antioxidant bioflavonoids that have been proven to reduce inflammation in a series of tests and studies. Detoxification is the key to healthy living, because eating smart and exercising still leaves your body vulnerable to toxins. Pollution, parasites, pesticides, viruses, germs… if you stop to think about it, toxins are everywhere! These invaders live in the air we breathe, the food we eat, even the water we drink. Toxins can create illness causing inflammation and put you at risk for chronic disease.

If you’re suffering from any type of pain or discomfort – or maybe you have another type of symptom that you think might be caused by inflammation we invite you to try nopal juice and experience wellness!
