Study Investigates the Long-term Effects of Blocking Inflammation

(Newswire.net — April 17, 2017) Orlando, FL — Inflammation has long been linked with the development of a myriad of medical conditions. This is why many researchers are conducting studies to determine the ways to prevent or stop it.

A study investigates the long-term effects of blocking inflammation. There are pharmaceutical drugs and strong anti-inflammatory natural remedies available nowadays that are formulated to fight inflammation.

According to a study published in the Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology journal, inflammation is the response of the body towards damaging stimuli. It can also have protective effects against cardiovascular disease.

The researchers use a new genetic tool that takes care of mimics of the functions and behaviors of certain anti-inflammatory drugs. The methods enable the researchers to see the effects of inhibiting interleukin-1.

The interleukin-1 is considered as the master regulator of inflammation. It plays a major role in the regulation of inflammatory response in the body. It works by setting off a series of signals that fight infection and damage.

There are certain medicines that reduce inflammation by blocking the interleukin-1. While inflammation is intended to provide protective effects, too much of it can also be damaging to the body.

For instance, it can cause potentially fatal symptoms, which are often seen in severe cases of influenza infection. Inflammation has also been linked with the development of autoimmune diseases and their symptoms, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

In the study, the researchers found that those who had naturally-occurring interleukin-1 inhibition in the body experienced a reduction in the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis sufferers suffer from pain and inflammation almost on a daily basis. There are those who are unable to function and work due to pain and immobility.

This condition can actually reduce not just the quality of health but also of the life of a sufferer. There are pain medications available such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, these medications can potentially cause side effects.

Many people are turning to the use of natural anti-inflammatories such as curcumin. This phytochemical is believed to be a safer alternative to pain medications.

Curcumin can be found in the ancient, medicinal spice called turmeric. This bioactive ingredient contains a variety of healing agents, such as its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antiseptic, antibiotic, and antiviral properties.

There are many arthritis sufferers who turn to the use of this natural anti-inflammatory due to several reasons. First, it doesn’t cause side effects while fighting off inflammation. This natural remedy has also been widely thought to offer a myriad of health benefits (www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-BioPerine-Bio-availability/dp/B00JA4TLTI/).
