Today's podcast explores the root of all disease, chronic inflammation. Also, the anti-inflammatory foods that can help reduce and fight inflammation.
Inflammation is part of the body's response to infection and tissue damage, and it is crucial to the healing process.
But over the last 15 years, studies show that when chronic inflammation lingers, it leaves your body in a constant state of alert.
This can lead to chronic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and even Alzheimer's disease.
Preventing chronic inflammation and knowing the signs is crucial.
Inflammation may be associated with general flu-like symptoms like fever, chills, headaches, loss of energy, and muscle stiffness.
Inflammation can also cause redness, joint pain, joint stiffness, or a swollen joint.
It can also affect organs like the heart and cause shortness of breath or fluid retention.
Chronic inflammation can also lead to weight gain.
Protect yourself by learning the causes, symptoms, and treatment of inflammation.
Discover all the anti-inflammatory foods you can consume and how to include them in your diet.
Today's recipes include 5-Ingredient Broccoli Soup and Walnut Pate.
