Inflammation is the body's natural protective response to an injury or infection. When tissues are damaged by things like pathogens, physical trauma, toxic chemicals, or heat, the body triggers an inflammatory cascade designed to heal and repair the tissues.
The main signs of inflammation include:
Acute inflammation is the initial short-term inflammatory response. Its purpose is to deliver immune cells and proteins to the site of injury to remove pathogens, dead cells, and irritants to allow healing.
However, sometimes inflammation fails to subside and becomes chronic inflammation. This occurs due to an overactive immune system or inability to eliminate the initial trigger. Diseases characterized by chronic inflammation include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and asthma.
If you suffer from chronic inflammation or inflammatory diseases, the specialists at New Beginnings HRT Clinic can help. Our integrative treatments combine hormone therapy and anti-inflammatory diets to reduce swelling and modulate the immune system. Contact us today to learn more!
To summarize, inflammation is the body’s response to harmful stimuli like infection and injury. Acute inflammation is a temporary immune reaction that promotes healing while chronic inflammation is prolonged and can damage tissues over time. Talk to your doctor if you have symptoms of chronic inflammation. Controlling inflammation is key to good health.
