Is your Body Inflamed?
When a part of your body gets swollen, red and pain, we say it is inflamed. Inflammation is your body’s natural response to anything that irritates it. Think of it as a small biological fire designed to “burn away” the irritation.
Often, we think inflammation is a result of sprains, strains, cuts, grazes, insect bites and stings, all of which produce localised pain, swelling, heat and redness. Though all this is true, inflammation can also be a result of simply a poor diet, unhealthy lifestyle AND stress!
