ABSTRACT
Inflammation underlies peripheral artery disease, arthritis, chronic kidney disease, irritable bowel syndrome, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and mild cognitive impairment in aging as well as the cardiovascular disorders covered in previous chapters. Inflammation impairs endothelial function and that, in turn, impairs blood flow to all parts of the body, and that can spell disaster. So, neglecting to support the endothelium with the antioxidants in omega-3 fatty acids encourages inflammation, and there is a plethora of really nasty conditions that follow from that neglect.
