ABSTRACT

Fight against meta-inflammation in non-communicable chronic diseases with lifestyle medicine strategies.

Prof. Dr. José L. Palma, Cardiologist. President of The Spanish Institute of Lifestyle Medicine (Spain)

Low-grade of chronic systemic inflammation or meta-inflammation is always present in most diseases considered non-communicable representing the highest percentage of global morbidity and mortality. Among them, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative (Alzheimer's and Parkinson's), tumors, mental disorders, arthritis, gastrointestinal problems and more, are the most relevant. Lifestyle medicine tries to anticipate this unfavorable evolutionary process by acting from the root, proposing measures that abort the initial stressful situation responsible for starting the entire cascade of adverse events that could even lead to premature death.
