Inflammation

For instance, acute inflammation may cause ailments and conditions such as sinusitis, a sore throat by a cold, severe bronchitis, etc.. Inflammation may be chronic in reaction to unwanted toxins in the body such as cigarette smoke or extra body fat. What causes chronic inflammation?

  • Stress: Stress causes activity in the brain which may result in physical pain which might result in an inflammatory reaction in the body. Hence, people experiencing stress may experience inflammation.
  • Poor diet: Some foods such as simple sugars, high fructose corn syrup, refined flours, trans-fat-rich foods, processed meat, fried foods, etc. can activate the inflammatory reaction in the body. So the consumption of these food items should be limited.
  • Unhealthy lifestyle: Consumption of alcohol, smoking, leading a sedentary lifestyle and being overweight creates a strain in the body that triggers an inflammatory reaction.
  • Pollution: Pollution causes damage to the cells that might lead to inflammation.
