The answer to these questions is a definite “yes.” An excellent book on this topic is "The Inflammation Syndrome: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Arthritis, Diabetes, Allergies, and Asthma," by Jack Challem, a respected health/nutrition writer and author of several books. The book also discusses Alzheimer's Disease as an "inflammatory disease." (Challem has the website, http://www.thenutritionreporter.com/). I hope this helps.

If you think about inflammation that you can notice in your nose, lungs, etc. what will happen to you if you do not notice it in your brain? Are there steps to take to keep inflammation at bay, curb inflammation before it becomes a problem? Anti inflammation foods? If you have any of these answers I would like to know. Thank you!
