The Importance of Inflammation

Inflammation is the immune system's response to any traumatic event in the body tissues. Sometimes this process gets out of control, leading to chronic inflammation that damages rather than heals. There are hundreds of cookbooks that promise to deliver an anti-inflammatory diet with supplements, gels, teas, workouts, saunas and cryotherapy chambers. But inflammation at its core is a vital part of the body's immune response, not something to try to eliminate.
