    Inflammation is a natural process that helps your body heal and defend itself from harm.

    Unfortunately, it can sometimes run wild and become chronic.

    Chronic inflammation can last for a long time — weeks, months or years — and may lead to various health problems.

    On the bright side, there are many things you can do to reduce inflammation and improve your overall health.

    This article outlines a detailed plan for an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle.

    What is Inflammation?

    Inflammation is your body’s way to protect itself from infection, illness or injury.

    As part of the inflammatory response, your body increases production of white blood cells, immune cells and substances called cytokines that help fight infection.

    Classic signs of acute (short-term) inflammation include redness, pain, heat and swelling.

    On the other hand, chronic (long-term) inflammation is often silent, and occurs inside the body without any noticeable symptoms.

    This type of inflammation can drive conditions like diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease and cancer

    Chronic inflammation can also happen when people are obese or under stress

    When doctors look for inflammation, they test for a few markers in the blood, including C-reactive protein (CRP), homocysteine, TNF alpha and IL-6.

    Bottom Line: Inflammation is a protective mechanism that allows your body to defend itself against infection, illness or injury. It can also occur on a chronic basis, which can lead to various diseases.

    Looks good!

    Yes a lot of things including insulin resistance evolved as an acute response to a problem, and only become maladaptive when they become chronic.
