What causes inflammation in the joints?

Answer 1

With rheumatoid arthritis the body's immune system improperly identifies the synovial membranes as foreign. This causes inflamation Inflammation resulting in damaged cartilage and tissue in and around the joints.
bacteria

Answer 2

Top inflammatory foods include:

1. Meat. Meats contain arachidonic acid, which, in your body, is converted to prostaglandin E2, a compound that sparks inflammation. Red meat contains a molecule that humans don't naturally produce called Neu5Gc. After ingesting this compound, your body develops anti-Neu5Gc antibodies, which is an immune response that may trigger chronic inflammatory response. Processed meat is even worse: it causes cancers of the colon and rectum, and possibly the esophagus and lungs. Processed meat includes animal flesh that has been smoked, cured, salted or chemically preserved. Finally, to make them grow faster and prevent them from getting sick in the deplorable conditions of factory farms, farmed animals are also injected with hormones and fed with antibiotics, none of which you want to be consuming.
2. Dairy products. As much as 60-75% of the world's population can't digest cow's milk. Milk is also a common allergen that can trigger inflammatory responses, including stomach distress, constipation, diarrhea, skin rashes, acne, hives and breathing difficulties, in susceptible people. Dairy products are also packed with hormones, antibiotics, and other harmful ingredients.
3. Refined oils. Plants do not contain arachidonic acid like meat does, but some refined common cooking oils— (particularly corn, sunflower, safflower, and cottonseed oils) can produce prostaglandin E2. Many common oils have very high omega-6 fatty acids and very low omega-3 fats. A diet consisting of highly imbalanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio promotes inflammation.
4. Fried foods. French fries, onion rings, potato chips, corn chips, and other fried foods contain trans fat, which increases your LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, and decreases your HDL (good) cholesterol, increasing your risk for Heart disease. Trans fat also damages the cells lining blood vessels, leading to inflammation, which plays a key role in the formation of fatty blockages in heart blood vessels. Trans fats also promote obesity and resistance to insulin.
5. Refined sugar. Sugar causes tooth decay and has been linked to increased risks of obesity, inflammation, and chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome and type 2 Diabetes. Sugar, along with dairy, also contributes to acne.
6. Food additives: Some artificial food additives like Aspartame and monosodium glutamate (MSG) trigger inflammatory responses, especially in people who are already suffering from inflammatory conditions.
7. Refined grains. Refined grains are devoid of fiber and vitamin B compared to unpolished and unrefined grains that still have the bran, germ, and the aleurone layer intact. This makes refined grains almost as bad as refined sugars, which are practically empty calories. And like refined sugars, refined grains have a higher glycemic index than unprocessed grains and can promote degenerative diseases like cancer and coronary disease. Worse, most wheat and corn available now is genetically-modified (GM). Your body did not evolve to handle these new organisms. To avoid buying GM foods, always buy organic.
8. Alcohol. Regular high consumption of alcohol can cause irritation and inflammation of the esophagus, larynx (voice box), and liver. Over time, the chronic inflammation can promote cancer at the sites of repeated irritation.
9. Food allergens. Common food allergens are gluten, milk, nuts, eggs, and nightshade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, ground cherries, tomatillos, garden huckleberry, tamarillos, pepinos, naranjillas, pimentos, and paprika).

Answer 3

It all depends on the individual Inflammation is the reaction of the immune system ti what it considers an invader or undesirable material in the body. Therefore any food that you are allergic to causes inflammation.

Answer 4

In the case of Arthritis inflammation that results from an autoimmune disorder can lead to the destruction of cartilage and other tissue surrounding joints as well as other tissues and organs of the body. This is because the immune system is designed to destroy foreign bodys and pathogens within the system using inflammation,

Answer 5

inflammation is caused by the immune system, When the imune system is dealing with an infection or is rejecting some foreign body, inflammation spears. In the case of some diseases like rheumatoid arthritis the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue leading to inflammation tissue and joint destruction.

Answer 6

The immune system. when there is a foreign particle or when the immune system reacts to any thing in your body you have inflammation.

Answer 7

an increase in the flow of blood in the effected area.

Answer 8

Arthritis is something that can cause inflammation in the joints. Injuries can cause joint inflammation as well.
