Inflammation is a vital part of the immune system's response to injury and infection. It is the body's way of signaling the immune system to heal and repair damaged tissue, as well as defend itself against foreign invaders, such as viruses and bacteria. Without inflammation as a physiological response, wounds would fester, and infections could become deadly. However, if the inflammatory process goes on for too long or if the inflammatory response occurs in places where it is not needed, it can become problematic.There are a number of treatment options for inflammatory diseases, like arthritis, including medications, rest, exercise, and surgery to correct joint damage. The type of treatment prescribed will depend on several factors, including the type of disease, the person's age, type of medications he or she is taking, overall health, medical history, and severity of symptoms. The ketogenic dietary protocol is a high fat, low carbohydrate, moderate protein diet. Typically 50-70% of your daily calories will come from fat. The ketogenic diet is not a new trend, in fact, it has been used as a therapeutic diet for epilepsy and seizures since the 1920s. The ketogenic diet reduces inflammation by recommending that you eat a ratio of 70-80% fat, 15-20% protein and 5-10% carbohydrates. For every 1 gram of carbohydrates we eat, our bodies hold onto 4 grams of water. Many carbohydrates that we regularly eat are overly processed and have a diminished nutritional profile. It's important to note that even healthy carbs found in their organic forms such as oats, wild rice, quinoa, sweet potatoes, apples, banana. When you're properly following a ketogenic diet, you're in a constant state of ketosis. What that means is that your body is producing the ketone BHB (beta-hydroxybutyrate), which has proven to be associated with activating genes that improve mitochondrial function and decrease oxidative stress. Ketones also activates the AMPK pathway (activated protein kinase) which assists in regulating energy and inhibiting the inflammatory Nf-kB pathways. (Nf-kB stands for the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells
