Cellular protection and lifestyle prevention
Chronic inflammation, NF‑κB and the oncological context
Inflammation is the body's natural defence reaction. The problem begins when it becomes chronic — destroying cells from within over weeks, months, even years before any symptoms appear.
Inside every cell there is a protein, NF‑κB. At rest it is inactive. Under the influence of oxidative stress, environmental toxins and a diet rich in Omega‑6, it undergoes translocation to the cell nucleus
and triggers a cascade of inflammatory reactions.
The modern Western diet provides Omega‑6 and Omega‑3 in a ratio of
16:1 in Europe and as much as 40:1 in the USA, while the physiological ratio is 4:1. This imbalance promotes chronic, diffuse inflammation — one of the reasons the quality of dietary fats matters so much.
That's why we talk about cellular protection as part of lifestyle prevention: less fuel for chronic inflammation, a better balance of fatty acids and the daily „damping down” of inflammatory background through diet and routine. This is also an important context in cancer education, but ESTRALA is not a medicine and must not be regarded as a method of treating or preventing cancer.
Omega‑6 : Omega‑3 — the balance that decides
A typical Western diet
16:1
Silent inflammation
It can develop for years before symptoms appear.
Cancer context
Chronic inflammation is an important topic in preventive education, but a supplement does not replace diagnosis or treatment.
Excess Omega‑6
In a typical Western diet the Omega‑6 : Omega‑3 balance is often heavily disturbed.
ALA and cholesterol
ALA helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels at an intake of 2 g per day.
