Eating a healthy diet that is anti inflammatory and a diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids, fiber and antioxidants is what reduces inflammation in the endocrine system.
Also getting regular exercise, enough sleep and managing stress also helps with reducing inflammation in the endocrine system and other areas of the body.
Inflammation in the endocrine system can disrupt the hormone production and function and can potentially cause various health issues like cancer, thyroid issues and autoimmune disorders.
In some cases your immune system may mistakenly attack your endocrine glands and lead to autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's thyroiditis "thyroid inflammation" and Addison's disease "adrenal gland insufficiency".
Chronic inflammation can also disrupt your thyroid hormone production and lead to hypothyroidism which is an underactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism which is an overactive thyroid.
Inflammation in the endocrine system can also lead to insulin resistance, which is a key factor in the development of type 2 diabetes and chronic inflammation is also linked to an increased risk of certain endocrine cancers like thyroid cancer.
To control internal inflammation you should eat a balanced and healthy diet that is rich in anti inflammatory foods and get regular and plenty of exercise, manage and reduce your stress and maintain a healthy weight.
Foods that you should eat to control internal inflammation include fruits and vegetables such as berries, colorful vegetables, leafy greens as well as fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and sardines which are rich in omega 3 fatty acids.
Nuts and seeds provide you with healthy fats and antioxidants and olive oil is a good and healthy source of monounsaturated fats and whole grains and spices such as cinnamon, ginger and turmeric are also good to consume to control and prevent internal inflammation.
You should avoid or limit foods such as processed foods, foods with added sugars, sugary drinks, sugar cereals, refined carbohydrates such as pastries and white bread and avoid or limit alcohol as alcohol can disrupt your gut microbiome.
