Inflammaon and Diet By Marisa Moore, MBA, RDN, LD Inflammaon is a protecve process you are probably more familiar with than you think. It’s the body’s method of heal- ing itself in response to an injury or exposure to a harmful substance. This is useful when, for example, skin is healing from a cut; however, inflammaon is not always beneficial. Chronic (or ongoing) inflammaon occurs when the immune system aacks the body’s healthy cells leading to autoim- mune diseases such as rheumatoid arthris, states of im- mune deficiency including Crohn’s disease or skin condions including psoriasis. Underlying chronic inflammaon also may play a role in heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Evidence supporng the impact of specific foods on inflam- maon in the body is limited. We know that some foods have the capacity to suppress inflammaon, but it’s unclear how oſten and how much is needed for this benefit. Though there’s promising research for the impact of foods such as fay fish, berries and tart cherry juice, but beware of any- thing touted as an an-inflammatory miracle. “Current science advocates overall good nutrion to help enhance the body’s immune system and provide anoxi- dants to reduce inflammatory stress,” explains Cheryl Orlan- sky, registered diean nutrionist and cerfied diabetes educator. PHYSICAL SOCIAL INTELLECTUAL SPIRITUAL Highpointes March 2018 Newsleer “Healthy fats, such as omega-3 and omega-6 fay acids, reduce inflammaon and help regulate membrane funcon” says Orlansky.

Inflammation and DietBy Marisa Moore, MBA, RDN, LD

Inflammation is a protective process you are probably more familiar with than you think. It’s the body’s method of heal-ing itself in response to an injury or exposure to a harmful substance. This is useful when, for example, skin is healing from a cut; however, inflammation is not always beneficial.

Chronic (or ongoing) inflammation occurs when the immune system attacks the body’s healthy cells leading to autoim-mune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, states of im-mune deficiency including Crohn’s disease or skin conditions including psoriasis. Underlying chronic inflammation also may play a role in heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

Evidence supporting the impact of specific foods on inflam-mation in the body is limited. We know that some foods have the capacity to suppress inflammation, but it’s unclear how often and how much is needed for this benefit. Though there’s promising research for the impact of foods such as fatty fish, berries and tart cherry juice, but beware of any-thing touted as an anti-inflammatory miracle.

“Current science advocates overall good nutrition to help enhance the body’s immune system and provide antioxi-dants to reduce inflammatory stress,” explains Cheryl Orlan-sky, registered dietitian nutritionist and certified diabetes educator.

“Healthy fats, such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, reduce inflammation and help regulate membrane function” says Orlansky. These types of fats should be included in a healthy diet. “Remove those fats that turn on inflammatory processes, such as saturated fat from meats, butter, cream sauces, fried foods and trans fat found in many processed,” Orlansky says.

That’s the way to go versus focusing on one specific “super-food.”

Eating to Reduce InflammationLuckily, eating with reduced inflammation in mind may be easier than you think.

• Let fruits and vegetables make up at least half your plate at meals. Take care to regularly fit in fresh, frozen or dried berries and cherries. Be sure to eat a variety of vegetables, in-cluding leafy greens such as kale, chard and Brussels sprouts.

• Opt for plant-based sources of protein including beans, nuts and seeds.

• Choose whole grains instead of refined ones. Give up white rice and replace it with brown, black or wild rice; whole oats or barley for cream of wheat; and whole-wheat bread instead of white.

• Pick heart-healthy fats as opposed to not so healthy ones. Olive oil, avocados, nuts and seeds are a few delicious choic-es.

• Choose fatty fish such as salmon, sardines and anchovies to get a heart-healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids.

• Season your meals with fresh herbs and spices. They pack a flavorful and antioxidant-rich punch.

Though diet is important, it’s not the only factor. Quality and duration of sleep and other lifestyle factors can have a direct impact on inflammation.

Overall, to avoid issues with chronic inflammation, make it your mission to achieve a healthy diet, maintain a healthy weight, get adequate sleep and engage in regular physical activity.

“The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected.” ~Robert Frost (Born March 1874)

I discovered the poetry of beloved American writer Robert Frost the year I was twelve. My favorite book at the time was a young adult novel titled The Outsiders, written by S.E. Hin-ton. Within the story, the protagonist Ponyboy quoted Frost’s Nothing Gold Can Stay, and I was immediately enchanted by this talented poet with his soft spoken and conversational writing style. His words resonated with me despite the fact I was yet an adolescent girl and he was born nearly a century before me. I connected with his melancholy and his sense of searching. His work analyzed complicated social and phil-osophical themes, and I enjoyed the challenge of trying to decipher the layers of meaning within his poems.

One of his quotes I find personally significant is, “The after-noon knows what the morning never suspected.” As I con-template my aging journey, these words and Frost’s own life, are an inspiration. Did you know that Robert Frost tragically lost his dad at age 11 and his mom at age 26? Or that despite his beautiful poems about pastoral life, he tried and failed at running a farm for nearly two decades, living in poverty with his wife and four children? Or that he and two of his children struggled at times with severe depression? Despite all this, “afternoon knew what the morning never suspected”. Hislater life held such possibility. He was nearly 40 when his work was first published. After that, he went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry on four different occasions, the last at age 68. He published books and taught at Amherst, University of Michigan, Harvard, and Dartmouth despite never earning a degree. At age 87, he read his poetry at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy.

Given the gifts of longer life, better health, and greater opportunities for engagement, what possibilities wait ahead for us? We say all the time at Four Pointes that aging doesn’t have to be about decline. It can be about growth, evolution, and trying new things. Every day that we are given allows us time to explore our talent, choose a healthier lifestyle, share our wisdom, or make connections with others.

Did You Know?When we talk about hydration, the importance of drinking a certain amount of water takes center stage. While that is a

significant component to healthy hydration, we often forget to emphasize the beneficial amounts of water in certain

fruits and vegetables. This generates yet another great rea-son to integrate a variety fresh fruits and veggies into our

daily diets,

Salmon Cakes Recipe Provided by: Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

Crab cakes are a popular dish, but not always practical or affordable. This quick and easy recipe uses salmon and other ingredients that can be kept on hand for preparation on busy days.

Ingredients1 7.5-ounce can salmon, skin removed ¼ cup plain, dry bread crumbs½ cup finely chopped red onion2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried1 egg, lightly beaten1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise2 teaspoons horseradishVegetable oil cooking spray

Directions(1.) Mix all the ingredients except the cooking spray in a medium-size bowl. (2.) Form into 4 equal-size patties.(3.) Coat a medium nonstick pan with the cooking spray; heat over medium heat.(4.) Cook the salmon cakes on both sides until golden brown.

Chili sauce may be used instead of horseradish. This is an easy and inexpensive way to reel in omega-3s, fish fat with anti-inflammatory properties that also may help fight heart disease.
