Chronic Inflammation
Understanding and Managing Chronic Inflammation: A Holistic Approach
In today's world, chronic inflammation has become a prevalent concern in the realm of health. While we're accustomed to hearing about inflammation in the context of injuries or infections, chronic inflammation presents a different challenge altogether, often linked to autoimmune disorders and chronic illnesses.
So, what exactly is chronic inflammation, and how can we address it effectively? As a wellness coach, it's essential to have a clear understanding of this issue and its implications for you.
Chronic vs. Acute Inflammation: What's the Difference?
Acute inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection. It's characterized by symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain, as the body works to heal itself. Once the threat is neutralized, acute inflammation subsides.
On the other hand, chronic inflammation is a persistent, low-level immune response that can linger for months or even years. Unlike acute inflammation, which serves a protective purpose, chronic inflammation can harm healthy tissues and organs, contributing to various health conditions.
