Inflammation is something we hear thrown around a lot... but is it all bad?
Acute inflammation is actually a good thing! It's your body's response to invaders or tissue damage. Like when you get sick or injured, your immune system sends fighter cells to repair itself. Think of this like a quick fire that burns and gets put out quickly.
Chronic inflammation is a low level inflammation that persists over years. Your body is often responding to perceived invaders, environmental toxins, or producing and inflammatory response from your lifestyle. Think of this like a slow burning fire that never gets extinguished.
Chronic inflammation is the basis to many of the most common chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, dementia, etc.
Lots of things in our environment can contribute to chronic inflammation like your diet, sleep habits, stress, environmental pollutants and exercise.
But the good thing is, these are all things we can control to prevent chronic disease later in life!
