๐ฅ Did you know? Inflammation can stem from various sources in our daily lives. Letโs explore:
1๏ธโฃOmega 3/6 ratio: Imbalance in these essential fatty acids, such as consuming too many omega-6 fatty acids found in processed foods and vegetable oils compared to omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and nuts, can lead to increased inflammation in the body.
2๏ธโฃLeaky gut: Increased intestinal permeability, often caused by factors like a diet high in processed foods and stress, allows toxins and bacteria to enter the bloodstream, triggering an immune response and inflammation.
3๏ธโฃRepetitive strain injury: Overuse of muscles and tendons, such as typing on a computer for hours without breaks, can cause inflammation and tissue damage, leading to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.
4๏ธโฃInfection: Pathogens invading the body, like bacteria or viruses from untreated wounds or respiratory infections, can induce inflammation as part of the immune response to fight off the infection.
5๏ธโฃTrauma: Physical and emotional trauma, such as a car accident or the loss of a loved one can trigger inflammation, leading to tissue damage and prolonged pain.
6๏ธโฃStress: Chronic stress from factors like work pressure or relationship issues can elevate cortisol levels, promoting inflammation throughout the body and potentially leading to conditio like stress-related gastritis.
7๏ธโฃAg/Ab interaction: Antigen-antibody complexes, such as those formed in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, can stimulate an inflammatory response, contributing to tissue damage and pain.
8๏ธโฃChemical exposure: Toxins and pollutants in the environment, like air pollution or exposure pesticides, can induce inflammation and disrupt normal bodily functions, increasing the risk of respiratory issues or skin conditions.
