Pflanzliche Lebensmittel wirken entzündungshemmend

Auszüge aus der Fachliteratur:

„… a vegan diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and various legumes, nuts and seeds, significantly improved health risk factors and reduced systemic inflammation as measured by circulating CRP. (…) Additionally, those participants who had a vegan diet prior to the intervention had the lowest [inflammation] risk coming into the program.“

„The vegan gut profile appears to be unique in several characteristics, including a reduced abundance of pathobionts and a greater abundance of protective species. Reduced levels of inflammation may be the key feature linking the vegan gut microbiota with protective health effects.“

„Serum levels of CRP [which is a biomarker of inflammation] appear to have a correlation to diet. (…) it can be recommended that patients with [the inflammatory disease rheumatoid arthritis] be placed on a vegan diet.“

„Greater frequency of fruit and vegetable intake was associated with significantly lower plasma [indicators of inflammation] and Hcy concentrations. Because both of these metabolites are known risk factors for CVD [cardiovascular disease], these findings contribute to the evidence that a higher intake of fruit and vegetables may reduce the risk of CVD.“

„… a prudent dietary pattern characterized by high intakes of vegetables, fruit, and whole grains was shown to be related to lower concentrations of circulating CRP [which is a biomarker of inflammation] …“

„Epidemiological data suggest that dietary patterns strongly affect inflammatory processes. Primarily the intake of fruit and vegetables as well as of whole wheat is inversely associated with the risk of inflammation. (…) In conclusion, there is convincing evidence that plant foods and non-nutritive constituents associated with these foods modulate immunological and inflammatory processes. By means of anti-inflammatory activities a plant-based diet may contribute to the lower risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer.“

„… the intake of [high-fat, high-carbodydrate meals - here: sausage and egg muffin] induces an increase in plasma LPS and LBP concentrations. On the other hand, the intake of the AHA meal, rich in fruit and fiber, did not cause any significant increase in any of these proinflammatory mediators (…) These observations are relevant to the pathogenesis of postprandial oxidative and inflammatory stress, insulin resistance, and atherosclerosis …“

„… meat-based or "Western-like" [dietary] patterns tended to be positively associated with biomarkers of inflammation, predominantly C-reactive protein, while vegetable- and fruit-based or "healthy" patterns tended to be inversely associated.“
