About this title

Synopsis

Compelling new information reveals that the root of the diseases we fear most—premature aging, cancer, and coronary disease—are intimately linked to one another by a damaging and lethal process known as microinflammation. As the name implies, microinflammation is an invisible and insidious insult to our bodies whereby inflammation occurs at the microscopic level and produces chronic damage to our cells that impairs their ability to function normally. As a result, this leads to premature aging, cholesterol plaque build-up in our arteries that produces heart disease, and cell mutation that produces cancer. Understanding Microinflammation not only provides a detailed, eye-opening examination of these devastating consequences of cellular inflammation, but also highlights the science behind the lifestyle modifications, nutritional supplements, and medicines that can be used to combat the deadly microinflammatory process.
