New research links western diet with inflammatory diseases

Heart disease and type 2 diabetes are two life -related disorders that are significantly affected by chronic inflammation.

A modern western diet that is heavy in processed foods and low in whole vegetable foods can significantly aggravate this chronic inflammation, according to new research, he said Medical news today.

To explore the impact of this dietary displacement, researchers from the Radboud University Medical Center and the College of Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University investigated the effects of health at the cellular level.

Their findings show that only 2 weeks of adopting a western diet on a traditional African diet can lead to increased inflammation, impaired immunoocreases and disturbed metabolic pathways associated with lifestyle -related diseases.

On the contrary, the transition from a western diet to a traditional African diet or eating traditional fermented drinks can have anti -inflammatory benefits.

These findings give beliefs to the idea that traditional diets, such as traditional African, Mediterranean and Latin American cuisines, which are mainly based on plants, can enhance health and reduce the risk of diseases associated with a certain lifestyle, although further research is required.

According to their findings, a two -week transition from a traditional African diet to a western diet interferes with important metabolic pathways associated with diseases associated with lifestyle options.

In addition, it appeared to launch a pre-inflammatory condition that included gene expression lesions, inflammatory substances in the blood and white blood cells.

Their immune cells have also lost some of their abilities to fight infections.

On the other hand, the ingestion of the fermented drink or the transition from a western diet to a traditional African diet that is mainly a vegetable basis had mainly anti -inflammatory effects, such as a decrease in inflammatory markers.
