ADVICE FOR A HEALTHY FUTURE - Inflammation

Inflammation is part of the body’s natural defense system against infection, irritation, toxins, and foreign molecules. When your body detects such a problem, a cascade of events occurs in which white blood cells and chemicals called cytokines mobilize to protect you from foreign invaders. In this capacity, inflammation is a good thing. It fights foreign invaders of all types. However, when the natural balance of your immune system (which produces just enough inflammation to keep infections, allergens, toxins, and other stressors under control) is disrupted, the system shifts into a chronic state of alarm, spreading a smoldering fire of inflammation throughout the body. This type of systemic inflammation has been linked to almost every chronic disease, including heart disease, cancer, obesity, and dementia—as well as things like arthritis, autoimmune disease, allergies, and digestive disorders. Unfortunately, few people realize that hidden inflammation run amok is at the root of all chronic illness we experience.
