What is In ammation?
In ammation is described as the reaction that occurs in the body when you have
an injury or illness. It simply means the immune system’s response to foreign
micro-organisms or toxic substances or stressful circumstances as your body tries
to protect itself.
In ammation is the major cause of health conditions like gout, arthritis, and even
allergies. Excessive stress, toxic environments, food intolerances, visceral fat, and
overthinking also increase your risk of in ammation.
If the cause of in ammation is not treated, it could a ect how your body functions
by making this reaction its default state. Aside from being a danger to your
physical endurance, mobility, and gut health, in ammation also poses a threat to
your brain health.
In ammation has also been linked to depression, fatigue, Alzheimer’s disease, poor
digestion, and even mood disorders. This is why you should not ignore
in ammation because it can seriously a ect the quality of your life. Without proper
cognitive skills, you might not be able to enjoy those wonderful interactions that
make us humans.
The health of your brain also a ects your emotions and your ability to do goal-
oriented tasks. You need a clear mind to enjoy all those wonderful conversations
and tell jokes. This meal plan will help you take back control of your mental, gut,
and physical health by reducing the in ammation raging in your body.
