Understanding Inflammation
Inflammation serves as a crucial part of the body's immune response, responding to harmful invaders or injury for healing purposes. Acute inflammation occurs rapidly, often initiating from an injury or infection, characterized by symptoms such as swelling and redness that resolve within days. In contrast, chronic inflammation is a prolonged, low-grade immune response that can linger for months or years, leading to various health issues if the underlying irritants remain. Identifying and addressing the causes of chronic inflammation is essential, as persistent inflammation can manifest from continuous exposure to allergens, bacterial infections, or autoimmune disorders.
