Traditional Tanzanian Diet Reduces Inflammation in Study
A study of 77 Tanzanian men showed that switching from their traditional, plant-rich Chagga diet to a Western diet increased inflammation; returning to the traditional diet or adding a fermented banana drink decreased inflammation, with effects lasting a month.

Traditional African Diet Shows Superior Health Benefits Compared to Western Diet in New Study
A Dutch study of 77 Tanzanian men found that a traditional African diet, rich in grains, root vegetables, and leafy greens, significantly reduced inflammation and improved immune function compared to a Western diet, suggesting it may be more effective at preventing chronic diseases.

Inflammation: A Double-Edged Sword in Health and Disease
Inflammation, the body's response to injury or illness, is crucial for survival but chronic inflammation, linked to obesity, smoking, and diet, increases the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes; blood tests exist but aren't perfectly reliable for screening.

Diet's Impact on Chronic Pain and Inflammation
Dr. Fred Tabung of Harvard's TH Chan School of Public Health explains that chronic pain is often caused by chronic inflammation, exacerbated by poor diet and micronutrient deficiencies; a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and Omega-3 fatty acids can alleviate the problem.

Sleep Deprivation Linked to Increased Inflammation via Altered Monocyte Levels
A study of 237 adults found that insufficient sleep is linked to higher levels of non-classical monocytes, a type of immune cell associated with inflammation, especially in overweight individuals; even 24 hours of sleep deprivation significantly altered monocyte profiles.

Itch Neurons Amplify Eczema Inflammation: Study
A US-based study published in Science reveals that itch-specific neurons amplify inflammation in eczema, creating a cycle where scratching worsens the condition. Experiments on allergic mice showed that preventing scratching reduced inflammation, suggesting therapeutic targets for treating the condi...
