What is inflammation of the body?
Inflammation is the body’s natural reaction to infections and injuries, the body’s immune system activates and the infected area becomes swollen or red. The human body works in a balance and it has to work in a balance to co-ordinate and control all the systems. For example, the body produces fever and becomes hot when we catch a cold, this is acute inflammation, and it is crucial to the body for fighting against infections. What if this inflammation goes out of control? A situation known as chronic inflammation that is very harmful for the internal system of the body. The pro-inflammatory hormones in the body work in a systematic manner to reduce infection and start the healing process. Chronic inflammation is a term that is used to describe the situation when the inflammatory responses in your body go out of control, or are always activated or are at a high alert at all times.
