Overeating leads to chronic inflammation in the body

I just run across the article in the "Cell" journal today. It talks about the latest scientific results that make connection between overeating and chronic inflammation in our bodies. This is what it means - in a nutshell:

1. If we eat too much we cause chronic inflammation in our bodies.

2. Chronic inflammation has becoming an underlying common cause for several chronic diseases, such as cancer, arthritis, age-related blindness (age-related macular degeneration or AMD) and generally aging processes, among others.

3. Molecular mechanism for this effect leads through dysregulation of hypothalamus,(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamus)a small gland in our brain which is a master regulator of body energy homeostasis.

4. So, suppressing activation of hypothalamus might be a new target in the fight against obesity and chronic disease that it causes.

5. Or, we can just cut our portions in half, and get healthier without any medical interventions...

Just think about it...change your diet - change your life!
