Multiple
studies show the alarming link of inflammation to chronic disease. Most of us
are aware that things like joint disease, arthritis, and fibromyalgia are
linked to inflammation. However, numerous studies link inflammation to some chronic
diseases that you may find surprising. Click on the link below and scan through
the studies. You will find that chronic inflammation is linked to diabetes,
cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, kidney disease, neurological
diseases, and even cancer. http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=inflammation+linked+to+chronic+disease&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart&sa=X&ei=ODq-UJGEEoKo8gSUgoHwBg&ved=0CCkQgQMwAA
The
clear message is that persistent inflammation is dangerous for the human body
and can lead to long term, debilitating, and often deadly health issues. A Time
magazine article dubbed inflammation The Secret Killer (http://www.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,20040223,00.html) because of its link to so many other issues.
Not
all inflammation is bad. Remember that it’s the body’s first line of defense.
However, when inflammation goes out of control it can damage healthy tissues
and cause more severe illness than the original problem. Again, the root of
arthritic conditions is an immune system and an inflammatory response that has
gone haywire. That we understand. But as inflammation persists it can spread
throughout the body and cause issues we never dreamed of.
The
best known way to reduce inflammation in the body is through the use of whole
body cryotherapy. At CryoUSA we see professional and elite athletes as well as
regular folks who want to recover from practice, games, or workouts and be able
to continue to enjoy pain free exercise. However, about 1/3 of our current
client base are people dealing with inflammation from an injury, surgery, or
just every day inflammation that needs to be reduced. We have seen great success as our clients are
able to use whole body cryotherapy to reduce inflammation and improve their
quality of life. Many of our clients are in phenomenal overall health and have
no current injuries or chronic conditions. Why would someone like this be
interested in using whole body cryotherapy? Because they understand that the use
of cryotherapy is a way to keep inflammation at bay and maintain an active,
healthy, and vibrant lifestyle. They have unlocked the key component to
longevity; prevention is much easier and cheaper than a cure!
