Anti-inflam Tips
Date Posted:22 March 2015
I’m going to let you into a secret that can make a big difference in your wellbeing for the rest of your life.
Inflammation is the body’s equivalent of a scouring rust that weakens and destroys tissue health and rapidly ages you from the inside out. Addressing the causes of inflammation is essential for long term wellbeing and a painfree life.
So what is inflammation and how can it be reduced?
Inflammation (Latin, īnflammō, "I ignite, set alight")
Inflammation is a protective immune response that the body uses to survive infection, toxic build up or trauma (injury). When the danger is over the body produces an anti-inflammatory response to step down the heat in the body so that balance can be restored.
- The symptoms of inflammation are pain, redness, immobility (loss of function), swelling and heat.
- Phsycial causes incude burns, injury, foreign bodies such as splinters, dirt and debris, trauma and radiation
- Biological causes include infection by pathogens, immune response to hypersensitivity and stress
- Chemical causes include chemical irritants, toxins and alcohol
How can it be reduced?
There is a seasonal change each year when inflammation will increase in your body. This increase may be unseen and overtime accumulate forming the foundation of later disease. Or if you have current symptoms they are likely to increase or become more inflamed at this seasonal juncture.
What time of year can I most effectively reduce inflammation seen or unseen within me?
It is the juncture between summer and autumn that is the time when the heat of summer is released into the blood stream. This heat circulates through the tissues and organ systems and can ‘inflame’ giving rise to or exacerbating inflammation . At this juncture a seasonal cleanse will most effecitvely reduce inflammation.
