Inflammation Epidemic- Why So Many Are Sick Today

Today we’re going to talk about something that sits at the root of almost every chronic disease we see today.It’s called chronic inflammation.Now when most people hear the word inflammation, they think of something obvious — maybe a swollen ankle, a red rash, or a painful joint.

It may hurt but It’s your body’s emergency response system.If you cut your finger, your immune system rushes in to stop infection and repair tissue. You get redness, swelling, heat — and then healing. That’s called acute inflammation, and it’s just a beautiful example of how well the body is designed.
