INFLAMMATION & DISEASES

Inflammation is part of the body’s immune system response. Inflammation is a defence mechanism which is a sign that your body is fighting something harmful or irritating. This could be an infection, injury, irritant, damaged cells or toxins. Scientists now believe that chronic, low-level inflammation plays a major role in nearly every chronic, Western disease. This includes heart disease, cancer, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer's and various degenerative conditions

When the body detects an intruder, it launches a biological response to try to remove it.

The attacker could be a foreign body, such as a thorn, an irritant, or a pathogen. Pathogens include bacteria, viruses, and other organisms, which cause infections.

Sometimes, the body mistakenly perceives its own cells or tissues as harmful. This reaction can lead to autoimmune diseases, such as type 1 diabetes, Rheumatoid arthritis, Inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, Multiple Sclerosis, lupus, Graves’ disease & hashimotos.

Experts believe inflammation may contribute to a wide range of chronic diseases. Examples of these are metabolic syndrome, which includes type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
