I created and presented a PowerPoint to those attending the CHIP program at the Walla Walla General Hospital. It was about anti-inflammatory diets and was based on current scholarly research articles
Favourable effects of consuming a Paleolithic-type diet on characteristics of...
Anti Inflammatory Diet
2. Emerging evidence is indicating that
inflammation plays an important role in all
stages of the atherosclerotic process
Inflammatory biomarkers, such as C-reactive
protein, predict cardiovascular disease
Systemic Inflammation is related to other
diseases: dyslipidemia, type II diabetes, and
oxidative stress
3. Smoking
Injury
Infection
High-fat diet
Saturated fat
Trans fat
Being overweight or
obese
4. • You are already starting habits that have
anti-inflammatory results
• CHIP’s principles are a core part of an
anti-inflammatory diet
5. Primarily plant-based foods:
fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and
nuts
Olive and canola oil in the place of butter
Herbs and spices instead of salt
Limited meat intake
Recent study: increased compliance with
these principles was associated with a 51%
reduction in colorectal cancer risk
Also: benefits in regard to markers of
cardiovascular disease risk and type II
6. A study by:
Helen Hermana M. Hermsdorff
M. Angles Zulet
Itziar Abete
and J. Alredo Martinez
A study assessing a legume-restricted diet vs. a legume-based
diet on metabolic and inflammatory changes, accompanying
weight loss.
7. Excessive body fat is associated with
inflammation and atherosclerosis
The chronic inflammation caused has been
connected with the development of:
Insulin
resistance, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia,
and atherosclerosis
8. Examples:
• Black beans
• Pinto beans
• Chickpeas
• Edamame Legumes are a class of
• Fava beans vegetables that
• Lentils includes
• Lima
• Kidney beans
beans, peas, and
lentils.
9. Legumes are foods containing important
nutritional and functional factors in health
maintenance and disease treatment
Vegetable
protein, fiber, minerals, phytochemicals and
other factors
Certain legumes have been associated with
diet quality: lower fat, vegetable
protein, lowering cholesterol
10. Legume nutrition:
Higher fiber content
Lower saturated fatty acid
Significantly lower cholesterol intake during
intervention period
Increase in magnesium and potassium intake
11. Legume health benefits:
Reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure
Reduction in total cholesterol
Decreased inflammatory marker concentrations
Greater weight loss and significant improvement
in some metabolic features
Reduction of risk for colorectal cancer
