Two types of inflammation exist: acute and chronic. Acute inflammation is the body’s response to sudden damage. Examples include: a broken bone, sore throat, itchiness from a bug bite. Acute inflammation is essential for our body to heal and is not usually cause for concern.
In contrast, chronic inflammation occurs when there isn’t any sudden damage to deal with, but our cells are sending signals for help. Often, we associate this inflammation with chronic conditions like autoimmune illness, heart disease,
cancer, and arthritis.
When looking to reduce chronic inflammation, there are two main areas you want to focus on that help to combat damage and reduce inflammation and disease. Learn more about these food and lifestyle factors by visiting our blog using the link below.
