Brain Inflammation: When the Fire Within is Out of Control... We have just this one brain...and our brain cells cannot die... once dead, they are gone... PUT PRIORITY TO THIS...

You’ve certainly experienced the acute inflammation that occurs when an injured body part turns red, hot, and swollen. Inflammation is your body’s first line of defense against infection and injury. This process normally shuts down when the injury starts to heal.

But trouble can arise when the inflammation process gets stuck “on” and doesn’t know when to stop. This can happen when your immune system is out of balance.

Then inflammation can turn on your body, attacking healthy cells, blood vessels, and tissues instead of protecting them. This is called chronic inflammation and has been dubbed a “silent killer”.

You can develop brain inflammation, just as in any other part of your body. You won’t feel it in the same way because your brain has no nerve receptors. But that doesn’t mean it’s not there, causing hidden damage to your most vital organ.

Inflammation Can be Deadly

If you break out in an itchy rash from poison ivy, you’re very aware of the “cause and effect” of acute inflammation. But the causes and effects of chronic inflammation are not so obvious.

Chronic inflammation itself is not painful but the damage it causes can be. It can lead to all sorts of seemingly unrelated problems including allergies, IBS, high blood pressure, and arthritis (or anything that ends in “itis”).

The chart below lists the ten top causes of death. Chronic inflammation is a contributor to seven of these causes, including two neurological conditions — stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. (1)

Chronic inflammation of the brain can lead to brain fog, ADHD, ADD, anxiety, depression, and memory loss. (2) If you are struggling with these brain issues now, consider these warning signs and get your inflammation under control now before it gets worse.

Chronic Inflammation – Symptoms & Causes

If you aren’t sure if you have inflammation, take a look at this list. If you have any of the following conditions, you have chronic inflammation:

• Allergies
• Arthritis
• Asthma
• Autoimmune disease
• Frequent colds
• Chronic infections
• Colitis
• Dermatitis
• Diabetes
• Digestive issues
• Heart disease
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Neuritis
• Obesity

Chronic inflammation is largely caused by poor lifestyle habits such as eating poorly, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, stress, poor digestive health, and exposure to toxins. Anything that leads to free radical formation causes inflammation, too.

Get Your Brain Inflammation Under Control

Inflammation is not an all-or-nothing response, but a continuum. You won’t be able to get rid of all inflammation nor do you need to, but you do want to minimize its presence once it’s turning against your body. Here are the best ways to get it under control.

Diet

Vegetable oils such as canola, soy, corn, and safflower are abundant in the average modern diet. They are also loaded with omega-6 fatty acids — a main cause of inflammation. Switch to extra virgin olive oil and organic coconut oil which contain anti-inflammatory properties instead.

Omega-3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory. The best dietary sources are wild-caught salmon and grass-fed meat. Regular supermarket meat doesn’t contain healthy omega-3s. Neither does farm-raised salmon. (Beware that fish is often intentionally mislabeled so you must know your source!)

For most people, an easier way to assure they are getting the omega-3s they need is by taking an omega-3 supplement.

Green tea and red wine contain compounds that can reduce inflammation as do garlic, onions, horseradish, and virtually all spices. (3)

Neutralize Free Radical Damage

Free radicals are a byproduct of living in an oxygen-rich environment. These unpaired oxygen molecules are on the loose looking for other molecules to pair up with. In the process, they cause oxidative damage. If you’ve ever watched a sliced apple turn brown, you’ve seen this process in action. A similar process goes on inside your cells, too.

Free radicals are caused by stress, lack of sleep, grilled meat, fried food, air pollution, cigarette smoke, radiation from your cell phone and computer, and even from breathing and exercise. Moderate exercise has been shown to reduce inflammation, but strenuous exercise leads to excessive free radical formation which makes inflammation worse.

Clearly, free radicals can’t be avoided but they can be rendered harmless by antioxidants. The best dietary sources of antioxidants are plant foods.

One exception is astaxanthin, one of the most potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory nutrients known. This phytonutrient is found in algae but gets concentrated in krill making krill oil such a great source. Astaxanthin readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, allowing it to more easily neutralize free radicals and halt oxidative damage to your brain cells.

Anti-Inflammation Supplements

Two of the best kinds of nutrients for reducing inflammation are omega-3s and antioxidants.

BioTrust OmegaKrill 5X offers the benefits of fish oil and krill oil plus the antioxidant properties of astaxanthin making this supplement an anti-inflammatory powerhouse.

If you are looking specifically for a brain inflammation supplement, I recommend Wellness Resource Brain Protector. Brain Protector’s unique berry-rich formula was formulated to keep your brain safe from the daily onslaught of free radical damage.

Get Tested

One way you can find out for sure if you have chronic inflammation and to what degree is to have a C-Reactive Protein (CRP) blood test done. C-reactive protein is produced by the liver and its level rises in the presence of inflammation.

You can ask your doctor to order this test or you can order it yourself from True Health Labs for around $50. Using an online lab is a great way to save money — up to 80% — and gives you privacy and control over your health.

Knowing your levels is useful to monitor your progress and see how much your lifestyle changes are helping.

Blood Type Teas – Choose The Best Tea For Your Blood Type ... interesting.. from Goodmorning center..

Each blood type has different needs and accordingly it can be determined which foods are best for us. It’s the same when it comes to beverages. When it comes to tea, the following teas are recommended for each blood type:

Blood Type 0

When it comes to nutrition, people with this blood type should eat meat, but avoid milk and gluten. Teas recommended for this blood group are based on  ginger, ginseng and green tea. Mint tea is the best choice.

Blood Type A

Very emotional and analytical, people with this blood type are under constant threat of stress caused by increased levels of the hormone cortisol. Coffee does not hurt them, and it is recommended that you consume more fruits and vegetables, meditate and practice yoga.

When it comes to tea, people with this blood type are best suited with jasmine tea and a mix of it with  green tea, as well as a mix of marigold and thyme. Chamomile is another tea that suits them.

Blood Type B

People with blood group B, have a slow metabolism and are prone to autoimmune diseases, obesity, lethargy, chronic fatigue and insomnia. However, these people have a very resistant digestive system, but a poor defense against bacteria, especially E. coli bacteria.

It is advisable to drink green tea, red roibisa, as well as a mix of teas called roibosa, sage and lemon balm. Also, hibiscus and pomegranate tea are excellent for this blood type.

Blood Type AB

People with this blood type have a strong intuition, are prone to stress, but have decreased libido. For them the ideal choice is a mix of green tea and mint. For men with this blood type it is especially recommended to consume a blend of mint tea, roibosa and nettle. Another excellent choice is cranberry tea.

If your path is more difficult, it is because of your high calling.... this is true... God can never allow us to bear burdens that we can't carry...

Time for reflection..

Mirror mirror on the wall..
who is the fairest of all?
Mirror mirror on the wall...
who are you to say all?

Mirror mirror on the wall...
if you really know all of all....
Tell me more, show some more..
Don't be just on that wall...

Mirror mirror on the wall..
Tell me why the sun rises in the east..
And sets in the west while we rest...
Tell me more, why are all these not at ease..

Mirror mirror on the wall...
Tell me why there are miseries...
and sufferings...betrayals, cheats, lies..
Tell me why... mirror mirror on the wall...

My dear..
Instead of sitting, I hung myself..
Instead of idle talking, I kept going..
Instead of dreaming, I kept alert myself..
Instead of judging, I kept neutral and praying...

My dears..
You humans are too greedy...
Too selfish, too unkind, too ignorant..
Too much ego, too much pride and fight..
Too much arguments, too much ill plots..

My dears..
The 'I' is the 'eye'..
The 'I' is the 'you'
The 'I' is more than the 'we'
The 'I' is the same 'us'..

Your eyes and body have become tainted..
Your minds are poisoned and falsely educated....
Your hearts polluted and dark evil dominated..
thus... your lost soul will perish because of that...

No home is your real home..
No someone are really yours...
No amount of wealth on earth is yours..
All are short lived and borrowed...

Relax my dears..
Let it go... Give it up.. Stay upright...
Let it go... total surrender yourself..
Only when you shed off your older you...
Only then, divine light will light you up..

That very self which is selfless...
That very self which is perfectly worthy..
That very soul which is priceless...
That very soul which lives in eternity...

So, my dears..
Indeed you have all of all...
Don't ask me, the mirror on the wall...
Happiness is yours to the taking...
Blissful life is yours to your liking...

Just CHOOSE & BELIEVE to be..
And it should always be...always be..
Just choose to be YOURSELF..
Accepting the truly REAL SELF,
divinity embodied, you will be..always be!
