Overview
Exercise and plant based diet can reduce the risk for diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. An underlying cause of these diseases is chronic inflammation. American Study (2011) demonstrated that non-smoking adult men and women whose lifestyles were most consistent with the 2006 American Cancer Society (ACS) cancer prevention guidelines for weight control, diet, physical activity, and alcohol had a significantly lower risk of dying from cancer and cardiovascular disease. Two of recommendations (ACS) for individual choices are: consume a healthy diet, with an emphasis on plant foods and limit consumption of processed meat and red meat. A Mediterranean diet is associated with lower levels of some important biomarkers of inflammation (such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 and fibrinogen) thus suggesting an anti-inflammatory action of its main food components.
