Our life style often has a pro-inflammatory effect nowadays. So there are clear indications that wrong eating habits, smoking, using hormones or an existing overweight and a lack of exercise can increase the risk for such inflammations and thereby the illnesses mentioned above.

Unfortunately, environmental pollutants and electromagnetic radiation as well can increase the risk for unnoticed inflammations. That’s why it’s recommendable to protect oneself against these risk factors (e.g. by using the memon technology).

How can I protect myself? – 6 anti-inflammatory natural remedies

Those who want to protect themselves against unnoticed inflammations should also pay attention to their nutrition. In certain sorts of fruit, vegetables and spices there are bioactive plant substances (above all polyphenols) which can counteract inflammations.
So, for example, there are fruits and roots like

• acai and goji berries
• pomegranate
• resveratrol (from grape skins)
• OPC (from grape seeds)
• ginger
• turmeric (with curcumin)

which are recommendable because these plants are extremely rich in anti-inflammatory polyphenols. These substances are not only said to be anti-inflammatory, but also strengthening the immune system, protecting the blood vessels, protecting the nerve cells, lessening allergies and inhibiting cancer. In addition, vegetal enzymes like bromelain (from the pineapple) and papain (from the papaya) are also helpful with inflammations, because enzymes support the self-healing powers of the body in the fight against inflammations.

Being protected with minimum effort – is that possible?

From experience it’s difficult to get and to consume the berries and spice plants, different sorts of vegetables and plant enzymes mentioned above in our everyday life. So you can also opt for food supplements which contain the stated sorts of fruit and vegetables, spice plants and vegetal enzymes as combination in capsule form (for example the active complex “plantazym”, available also in the pharmacy).

It’s advisable to protect yourself already externally against negative influences of electrosmog (for example by memon products) and to provide yourself regularly with protective substances (for example with “plantazym”, www.juventahealthcare.com or pharmacy).
