Inflammation, Chronic Diseases, Spices and Ayurveda: How are They Linked?

Chronic infections, obesity, alcohol, tobacco, radiation, environmental pollutants, and high-calorie diet have been recognized as major risk factors for the most common types of chronic diseases. All these risk factors are linked to cancer and other diseases through inflammation. Chronic inflammation that lasts for long-term can predispose the host to various chronic illnesses. Thus suppression of these proinflammatory pathways provides opportunities for both prevention and treatment of chronic diseases.

Breakthrough scientific research is finding that spices-even more than herbs, fruits, and vegetables-are loaded with antioxidants and other unique health-enhancing compounds. Studies of dietary patterns around the world confirm that spice-consuming populations have the lowest incidence of such life-threatening illnesses as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's.
