- Health & Fitness
According to the National Stem Cell Foundation, nearly 4% of the world's population is affected by one of more than 80 different autoimmune diseases, the most common of which include type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Crohn's disease, psoriasis and scleroderma. According to the National Institutes of Health, up to 23.5 million Americans (more than seven percent of the population) suffer from an autoimmune disease—and the prevalence is rising. I, too, have an autoimmune disease which has become more widely known called Celiac Disease. There are a lot of misconceptions about these diseases- many of them sound like a lifetime sentence of misery and it is true that it’s not comfortable to have to live with any of these diseases, however, with proper management of most cases of autoimmune disease, you can live with less pain.
For those who don’t have an autoimmune disease or don’t have a friend or loved one with one, you may not know what an autoimmune response is. The response in an autoimmune reaction is the body attacking its own immune system because it does not recognize a foreign protein as a friend but rather a foe. In someone without the autoimmunity, these proteins would be recognized as a friendly neighbor passing through that no real mind is paid attention to rather than recognizing this substance as an danger stranger that we wager an attack against, throwing bombs at the invader, causing ourselves pain, often in the form of inflammation.
Autoimmune diseases often result in inflammatory response and inflammation is painful. What we will discuss in this episode isn’t limited to those with autoimmune disease. Inflammation is also an ever-increasing symptom of people across the world too as sugar, hormones, and artificial ingredients plague us in our Western Diets. Elizabeth Yarnell speaks with us about how we can shift our diets and the way we live to manage autoimmune diseases and reduce inflammation by managing what we eat and how we live. This is so so important in driving longevity as inflammation is a recipe for so many long-term ailments, diseases, and especially cancer.
