However, when signals become confused, we may trip into chronic inflammation. This is when our immune system is overstimulated all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although further research is required to understand the full implications, it is now believed that this can influence our risk of many chronic diseases as well as contributing to insulin resistance, weight gain and increased psychological stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In menopause, our bodies can become more susceptible to chronic inflammation.  Progesterone, a natural anti-inflammatory hormone, decreases. Oestrogen is known to have anti-inflammatory properties too.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As our sex hormones decline, our risk of inflammation increases. External stressors, so common in midlife, influence our body\u2019s resilience. These factors, along with common symptoms of menopause such as poor sleep and low mood &#8211; are both triggers for and exacerbated by chronic inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/yoga-for-stress-and-anxiety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Read more about yoga for stress and anxiety in this complete guide<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mpowder.store\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">So, how can wholefoods help?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mpowder.store\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BLOG-HEADER-IMAGE-1-copy-2-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BLOG-HEADER-IMAGE-1-copy-2-9.png 960w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BLOG-HEADER-IMAGE-1-copy-2-9-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BLOG-HEADER-IMAGE-1-copy-2-9-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BLOG-HEADER-IMAGE-1-copy-2-9-624x351.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers believe that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are playing an increasingly significant role in creating an \u2018inflammation nation\u2019.
