not all of them are problematic<\/a>. Eating refined carbohydrates can increase inflammatory markers, though. These foods include pasta, white bread, cookies, and other similar foods. Fiber is removed from refined carbs, whereas fiber exists in complex carbohydrates. Refined carbs also encourage the growth of inflammatory gut bacteria that can increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease and obesity. The high glycemic index of refined carbs also rapidly raises blood sugar. According to research, consuming foods with high glycemic index drives up inflammation, even in healthy adults. <\/p>\n\n\n\nExcessive Alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Moderate alcohol consumption may not increase inflammatory markers<\/strong>, but excessive alcohol consumption does. Additionally, higher amounts of alcohol can lead to other severe health problems. A small study found that CRP levels were higher in people who consumed more alcohol. The more alcohol they consumed, the more their CRP levels increased. People who drink a lot of alcohol may experience more bacterial toxins in the the colon. It also contributes to leaky gut syndrome, which can cause widespread inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTrans Fats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Fried foods, including mozzarella sticks, potato chips, and donuts are all high in trans fats. These fats are processed via hydrogenation by food manufacturers. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health sounded the alarm about trans fats in the early 1990s. This was primarily due to the fact that they trigger systemic inflammation. In fact, one study found that people who ate more trans fats had higher levels of CRP and interleukin-6 (IL-6), two inflammatory markers. Trans fats also raise LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, which increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. <\/p>\n
