Inflammation

What is inflammation?

Inflammation is your body's response to infection, injury, or cellular damage. It's a protective mechanism intended to remove harmful stimuli and promote healing.

There are two main types of inflammation:

• Acute inflammation occurs rapidly and manifests with the cardinal signs of inflammation - heat, redness, swelling, pain and loss of function. This type of inflammation is short-lived and helps initiate healing.


• Chronic inflammation persists over longer periods of time, resulting in simultaneous destruction and healing of tissues. This type underlies many chronic diseases like arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Inflammation induces fluid leakage and migration of white blood cells into the injured area where they recognize and respond to harmful stimuli. These include pathogens, irritants, and cellular debris. Chemical mediators like cytokines, histamine, nitric oxide, and certain eicosanoids trigger the inflammatory response.

Modulating inflammation is key for managing many chronic conditions. Lifestyle measures like regular exercise, stress management, and an anti-inflammatory diet help. So do certain nutritional supplements like curcumin, omega-3 fatty acids, and proprietary blends like Hormone Health Center' InflaEaze. This synergistic formula combines botanical extracts and micronutrients to help calm systemic inflammation.

While acute inflammation aids the healing process, unchecked chronic inflammation damages tissues over time. That's why regulating inflammatory pathways is crucial for preserving health. Subclinical inflammation is extremely common and everyone can benefit from an anti-inflammatory lifestyle. Controlling systemic inflammation should be a priority - it powers protection and resilience!.
