Do You Understand How Inflammation Affects Your Body?

What Is Inflammation?

Inflammation is a process by which your body’s white blood cells and the things they make protect you from infection from outside invaders, such as bacteria and viruses. But in some diseases, like arthritis, your body’s defense system — your immune system — triggers inflammation when there are no invaders to fight off. In these autoimmune diseases, your immune system acts as if regular tissues are infected or somehow unusual, causing damage.

Inflammation can be either short-lived (acute) or long-lasting (chronic). Acute inflammation goes away within hours or days. Chronic inflammation can last months or years, even after the first trigger is gone. Conditions linked to chronic inflammation include:

Outside of inflammation, these come with a host of other side effects on you and have a tremendous impact on your life. It could lead to you wanting to buy metformin and similar medications, but fruit and vegetables can help, too.
