In our last BLOG we discussed how chronic inflammation is directly linked to many of the most common chronic diseases we encounter in our lives. As a matter of fact, over 60% of people are affected with at least one condition associated with this.
People suffering from diseases such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes and cancer continue to soar as a result of stress and dysfunction caused by chronic inflammation?
The process of chronic inflammation begins with your body doing the right thing. Hormones are released due to stress from physical injuries, emotional stress or your diet, which causes your immune system to react. But, if the injury doesn’t properly heal, the stress is ongoing, or the diet doesn’t change, this normally healthy process can turn into chronic inflammation and disease. If your immune system doesn’t “turn off,” a vicious cycle of tissue damage can lead to long term inflammation and future health issues.
Keep in mind…
Chronic inflammation results in an imbalanced immune response which can lead to chronic disease.
Inflammatory mediators become overproduced and can lead to tissue damage.
By you taking a pro-active approach to your health now can lower your risk for developing chronic disease in the future.
Identifying the areas in your life where you can actively to reduce inflammation can help you reduce your risk of chronic disease. A few of the most common risk factors associated with chronic inflammation include age, obesity, diet, smoking, hormonal imbalances, and sleep disorders. While age is something you can’t control; nearly all the other risk factors can be altered with your daily habits.
