Anti-inflammatory Diet & Lifestyle

Written by admin@pcpierce.com on August 8, 2016. Posted in Education Topics

There is more and more evidence that attributes many chronic diseases and ailments to one common condition – chronic inflammation. As people age it is rare to find someone afflicted with only one chronic illness or condition and not another.
 
Inflammation is a normal process in the body that defends against infection and foreign invaders. Some products recruited in response to inflammation interact with cells of the immune system in order to regulate the body’s response to disease and infection.
 
Some symptoms of chronic inflammation include fatigue, headache, muscle stiffness, joint pain, and fluid retention. Chronic, low-level inflammation contributes to common conditions like heart disease, cancer, respiratory disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, kidney disease, osteoporosis, depression, bowel diseases, as well as arthritis and lupus.
