Inflammation: What have you heard?
With a partner, write down what you’ve heard about inflammation and nutrition.

Pop-Quiz Question #1
Sarah has the flu. She has spent the entire day watching Lifetime movies and sipping Chamomile tea.
Chronic or Acute?
Pop Quiz Question #2
Ben has been overweight for many years. Today, his doctor has informed him that his Body Mass Index (BMI) has reached 30.
Chronic or Acute?
Pop Quiz Question #3
Tommy has been grounded by his mother after she discovered his regular smoking habits. He wanted to go out tonight, so he tried to escape his lonesome room by climbing out of his two-story bedroom window. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it out so well and ended up breaking his ankle.
Chronic or Acute?

Conditions Related to Chronic Inflammation
Your turn!
Break into groups Draw a card from the basket
Using your hand-outs, please report back to the group:
1.Describe your group’s designated condition
2.How is this condition related to inflammation?
TASK 2: What can we do?
What lifestyle factors affect inflammation?
Antioxidants
Found in whole and colorful plant-based foods, are powerful cell protectors.
Defend our cells against damage. Vitamins C, E, and A (found abundantly
in whole fruits and vegetables) are examples of antioxidants.
Dietary Factor of Inflammation:
Refined Carbohydrates
Too many refined carbohydrates in the diet: When our diets lack fiber and include refined,
sugary, and processed carbohydrates, our immune system goes haywire.
This overload of simple sugars causes a spike in “bad” cholesterol, and increases insulin resistance.
Inflammatory cells send-off chemicals that hinder insulin’s efforts
Bodies to remain in “defense mode”, continuously trying to fix our glucose and cholesterol levels.
Dietary Factor of Inflammation:
Dietary Factor of Inflammation:Cholesterol
Cholesterol Simulation
Liver makes 75% of daily needs.
LDL: The “bad” cholesterolHDL: The “good” cholesterol
1 in 6 American adults have high cholesterol *
Dietary Fats
Not all fats are equal Fats implicated in inflammation:
Saturated Trans
Fats protective against inflammation: Monounsaturated Polyunsaturated
Dietary Factor of Inflammation:
Flavonoids
Found in dark chocolate, red wine, and virtually all fruits and vegetables
Over 6,000 substances may offer protection against excessive inflammation.
NIH – more research needs to be done to identify how and IF flavonoids impact inflammation. One hypothesis: Flavonoids increase blood
flow, decrease blood pressure
Folders contain hand-out on flavonoids
Dietary Factor of Inflammation:
Lifestyle Factors affecting Inflammation
Healthy habits Exercise Quitting smoking De-stress
Brush those teeth!
Your turn!
Break into groups of 6
Discuss the following:
1.Summarize what a diet looks like that causes inflammation.
2.Describe what a diet would look like that protects from inflammation.
Also…
1.How does this diet compare to MyPlate/DG2010 recommendations?
2.Next, look at lifestyle factors. How do they compare to DG2010?
Take-away
With a partner, discuss:
A participant asks you about a recent Dr. Oz show, where he spoke about inflammation and nutrition. What would you tell this participant?
Task 3: A Further Look at Fats and Inflammation
Grab a partner, and discuss:
Think of a time that a participant asked you to recommend a healthy fat. What did you say?
“Meet the Fats”
Saturated Fats
• Raise “bad” cholesterol
• Meats• Dairy• Coconut & Palm oils• Some snack foods
Source: The American Heart Association
“Meet the Fats” Trans Fats• Raise “bad” cholesterol
• Lower “good” cholesterol
• Fried foods• Baked goods• Snack foods• “Cream-filled” products• Some margarines
Cheaper processing, longer shelf-lifeLook for: “Partially hydrogenated”
“Meet the Fats”
Monounsaturated Fats
• Lower “bad” cholesterol
• May raise “good” cholesterol
• Nuts• Seeds• Legumes• Avocados• Olive oil
“Meet the Fats”Polyunsaturated Fats• Lower “bad” cholesterol
• Two of interest today: Omega 6 & Omega 3
• Omega-6:• Poultry, eggs• Avocado• Cereals• Whole-grain breads• Vegetable oils
• Omega-3:• Fatty fish• Flax seed• Walnuts• Soybeans
The Perfect Ratio (Omega-6 to Omega-3)
IDEAL 3:1
AMERICAN 10:1 to 25:1 Imbalance contributes to chronic
inflammation!
Why so disproportionate?!
Most vegetable oils seen in fast-food, processed goods contain Omega-6.
Your Turn! Which is better…
Butter or Margarine?
Break into groups and compare labels from various fat products.
Place in order from:
“Least-healthy choice” to “Healthiest choice”
Summary.
Butter: made from animals, has saturated fat.
Margarine: made from plants, may have trans fat.
OPT FOR: tubs, liquids. Lowest amount of cholesterol,
saturated fats, and calories.
Task 4: Wrap-Up!
What have you learned today that you didn’t know prior to this session?
How do you translate what you learned when communicating with program participants?
