This paper reviewed the mechanisms of systemic inflammation and the nutritional status
of the individuals who suffer from chronic diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic
lupus erythematous, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, irritable bowel diseases include
ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, asthma, and atherosclerosis. Treatment modalities such
as diet regimens will also be discussed. The Anti-Inflammatory diet, Mediterranean Diet, and the
Dash diet will be discussed. Nutritional status and inflammation go hand in hand according to
the findings available today. There is still more research required to completely understand the
mechanisms that occur in inflammation.
