Abstract

Inflammation is a physiological response to infectious agents and tissue damage. When the inflammatory process does not proceed appropriately, a low-grade chronic inflammatory response develops. Low-grade chronic inflammation is defined as a metabolic process characterized by the increase of the acute phase proteins such as CRP and the pro-inflammatory cytokines in plasma and by infiltration of macrophage and T cell and of chemotactic pro-inflammatory chemokines such as monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) in insulin-dependent tissues cells. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, which are among the most important macro nutrients are important for the individual's inflammatory response according to their daily intake levels, sources and types. Although their diet is rich in complex carbohydrates, pulp, MUFA, PUFA, the reduction of SFA, TFA, simple sugars, and processed carbohydrates can lead to positive effects on inflammatory pathways and prevent chronic diseases in the long term.
