You need inflammation to live. However it can also kill you. Acute inflammation is the immediate response to injury or infection. It is the redness and swelling following a cut or scratch which you need,or the infection could kill you. When it's chronic, the inflammation is an ongoing long term process in your body which causes a more serious medical condition.You can't see this invader. It's inside your cells, tissues and arteries, smoldering and doing its damage, and you don't know it's there until the damage is well on it's way to a serious illness or even death.Most Chronic And Degenerative Illnesses, And Even Aging Is Caused By Inflammation.Chronic Inflammation is determined by: * What you eat--do you eat fruits and vegetables, or do you eat chips, soda and all sorts of junk food?
* What you do, do you exercise, or do you sit on the couch and let the tv entertain you? * Are you exposed to chemicals at home or at work--this could even be hairspray, or spray deodorant?These are things we have control over, and have to take responsibility for. Inflammation causes autoimmune diseases which are diseases of an overactive immune system, such as, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus and many others.Milder forms would be allergies, and skin conditions.
