How to tame chronic inflammation

from Mayo Clinic Health Matters Hosted by Mayo Clinic Press

Some inflammation is helpful, but too much can do more harm than good. These days, chronic inflammation is linked to a wide range of health conditions, from joint pain and digestive issues to heart disease and fatigue. So how do you know whether chronic inflammation is contributing to your health concerns — and what can you do about it? On this episode of Health Matters, we talk with rheumatologist Dr. Vanessa Kronzer about what drives inflammation, how we can do a better job preventing and treating it, and steps we can all take to help reduce inflammation in our bodies.
