In an age where healthcare is often seen as a priority for older generations, a rather alarming trend is rearing its head: increasing inflammation in young people. Dr Vincent, a highly respected antioxidant researcher, food scientist, clinical nutritionist, and the founder of Renovatio, is drawing attention to this silent menace that is impacting youth like never before.
Inflammation is not visible, but don’t let that fool you. According to Dr Vincent, this invisible enemy can wreak havoc on the body, causing substantial damage to cells, arteries, organs, and joints. The common perception is that inflammation merely signifies swelling, part of our natural healing process. But when there’s nothing to heal, this mechanism can cause our immune system to attack the body instead.
Dr Vincent’s observations are backed by a notable uptick in the number of young people seeking medical help to manage inflammation. The cause is often our lifestyle, which is fraught with pitfalls that many consider inconsequential. From animal-based diets and fried foods to excessive stress and inadequate exercise—all these can be precursors to chronic inflammation. And if that’s not alarming enough, chronic inflammation can lead to life-threatening diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s.
So, how do we combat this invisible foe? Dr Vincent is not just the bearer of bad news; he also offers a lifeline in the form of practical solutions. For starters, our diet plays an instrumental role in controlling inflammation. Anti-inflammatory foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, lean white meats, and cold-water fish like salmon and tuna, are beneficial. On the flip side, one must minimise the intake of red meat, processed foods, and fried items—all known culprits in triggering inflammation.
But it’s not just about what you eat. Dr Vincent emphasises that regular exercise can be an excellent deterrent against inflammation. The goal is to aim for at least 10,000 steps a day. Not only does exercise help in weight management, but it also aids in oxygen circulation and stress management, which are key in combating inflammation.
Stress and sleep are also critical components. Chronic stress can exacerbate inflammation, so techniques like meditation and yoga can go a long way in managing it. Improving sleep quality can also aid in reducing inflammation, an often-overlooked but vital element in overall wellness.
For those who lead hectic lives or struggle with food quality, supplements can be a saving grace. Products like fish oil and activated phenolics can supplement your overall health and wellness regime. Activated phenolics are potent antioxidants that have been designed for absorption by the body, fighting inflammation and neutralising free radicals that damage cells.
Founded by Dr Vincent in 2016, Renovatio Bioscience aims to offer ‘turbo-charged’ health and wellness products based on his ground-breaking antioxidant research. The world’s most potent antioxidants, dubbed ‘activated phenolics,’ are extracted from Australian produce using a unique technique, making them easily consumable.
So, while inflammation remains a serious concern, especially among the younger demographic, it’s not insurmountable. According to Dr Vincent, a combination of lifestyle changes, diet modifications, and supplements can not only manage but also reverse inflammation. With more and more young people seeking help for this hidden health concern, it’s time we put inflammation in the spotlight and treated it with the seriousness it deserves.
