Appetite Dysregulation

Inflammation: Mast cells, eosinophils, and Th2 immune cells release histamine, leukotrienes, and cytokines that swell the airway tissue.
Bronchoconstriction: The smooth muscles surrounding the airways contract sharply, narrowing airflow passages.
Mucus overproduction: Chronic inflammation triggers excess mucus that further blocks breathing.

Description

A disruption in the normal appetite signaling pathways, affecting hunger and satiety hormones like leptin and ghrelin, leading to abnormal eating patterns. For each gram of carbohydrate consumed, it's signaling to the body that it has consumed 8-10 grams of protein, which is about 50-60 grams of meat. A meal of primairly 100 grams of carbohydrates is equivalent to consuming 80-100 grams of protein, which is about 500-600 grams of meat.
