THE NUTRITIONAL MANAGEMENT OF INFLAMMATION IN COMMUNICABLE AND NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE

This session will explore the functional and pathological aspects of inflammation. Inflammation underpins multiple aspects of chronic and acute disease. Understanding the interplay between pro and anti-inflammatory processes allows insight into how dietary and supplemental approaches can help in managing important disease states. Examples including rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis, cancer, hypertension and heart disease will be considered and protocols for disease prevention and management will be described.
