Inflammation Explained
Inflammation is your body’s way of protecting itself from injury or infection. It may cause pain, swelling, redness, and bruising.
Acute inflammation is a short-term response that helps your body heal. It usually goes away on its own within a few days or weeks.
On the other hand, chronic inflammation is a long-term response that can damage your tissues and organs.
Unhealthy Foods & Inflammation
Highly processed, unhealthy foods can change the type and number of bacteria in our gut.
This can lead to a different immune response, which over time may cause chronic inflammation.
Chronic inflammation has been linked to chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and dementia.
