Science Site Of Pro-resolution Nutrition | Dr. Sears

Inflammation is a two-edged sword. We need enough to defend us against microbial invasion and to allow our physical injuries to heal. However, if we are unable to turn it off, it begins to attack our body making us gain weight, develop chronic disease at an earlier age, and accelerate the aging process.

Much of the excess inflammation in our body is diet-induced. Anti-inflammation nutrition can be used to maintain inflammatory responses in an appropriate balance leading to better health.

Many chronic inflammatory conditions are caused by either excess initiation or decreased resolution of inflammation. You need a balance to maintain wellness. That is the definition of being in the Zone.

The Zone Diet was developed by Dr. Sears as a structured life-long anti-inflammatory nutritional program to keep diet-induced inflammation in a Zone.

The benefits of being the in Zone are important in each stage of your life. Your reasons for being in the Zone may change in each stage of life, but the pathway to reach the Zone remains the same.
