What makes up an anti inflammation diet and why is it so highly recommended? Science is beginning to understand that chronic inflammation is the root cause of all serious disease. Diseases like:Heart Disease Type 2 Diabetes Cancer ArthritisAll of these stem from chronic inflammation within the human body as reported in the article 'The Fires Within' -- the Feb 2004 issue of Time magazine.Inflammation is an ancient protective defense mechanism built into our bodies to fend off potentially harmful microbes and parasites. As we live longer this defense system can slip out of control and cause the development of the chronic diseases mentioned above. The obvious fact is -- if eliminate the chronic inflammation you eliminate the chance of any of these diseases taking hold in your body.There is a way to measure this type of inflammation?Yes -- there are three tests -- well known and proven tests -- that reveal how much inflammation is in your body:C-reactive protein (CRP) High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)CRP is used when bowel disease, arthritis, etc is suspected. hs-CRP tests are for heart disease and ESR testing produces similar results...more

Understanding baby boomer health cost issues is more important today than ever before, especially as this huge age demographic begins to increasingly move into the retirement years. Those born between 1945 and 1964 constitute the single largest bloc of people in the country. And as they continue to age they will require more and more healthcare in greater numbers than ever before.As with almost anything to do with the boomers, their collective movement has a deep impact on our whole society. Because this demographic is so large, it tends to get what it wants in terms of just about everything, including access to health care. For example, boomers tended to be extremely active in their youth and adulthood and are beginning to see a number of orthopedic problems.Because all of that activity tends to extract a toll on people, there seems to be a rise in the need for hip replacements and knee replacements on people who banged their bodies around recklessly when they were younger. This is placing a strain on the health care system and is requiring reform sooner rather than later. Also, Medicare is increasingly shaky and probably won't be sufficient in the future.Additionally, because...more
