Entzündungskrankheiten: Was leistet eine antientzündliche Ernährung?

Um Entzündungszustände zu reduzieren, gilt es, unerwünschte inflammatorische Reize zu vermeiden. Dieser Beitrag zeigt auf, wie dies mit einem antientzündlichen Ernährungsmanagement gelingt.

Kernaussagen

Vorteile antiinflammatorischer Ernährungsmuster:

• reduzierte Aufnahme proinflammatorischer Lebensmittel, wie hochverarbeitete Lebensmittel

• enthalten viele antientzündliche Nährstoffe, wie Omega-3-Fettsäuren

• enthalten eine Vielzahl essenzieller Mikro- und Makronährstoffe, wie Vitamine

• erhöhte Aufnahme von MUFA und PUFA

• Verbesserung des Omega-3- zu Omega-6-Fettsäuren-Verhältnisses

• Verbesserung der Gesundheit des Darmmikrobioms durch kurzkettige Fettsäuren aus Ballaststoffen

• helfen Gewicht zu reduzieren oder zu stabilisieren

• reduzieren das Risiko, an Komorbiditäten wie kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen zu erkranken

• reduzieren chronische Entzündungszustände

• bessern die Insulinresistenz

• verbessern die Lipidprofile
