Inflammation Fighter
The best and most clear-cut definition found was said by Deepak Bhatt, M.D., M.PH.
He stated, 'think of inflammation as the body's natural response to protect itself against harm."
That makes total sense. Your body is trying to protect itself and as a result, you are seeing signs that your body is hard at work trying to keep you healthy.
There are 2 types of inflammation; acute and chronic.
Acute inflammation helps us get rid of infections such as flu or helps to heal cuts. So acute inflammation is normal and part of a healthy immune response.
Chronic inflammation is the one that you need to worry about. Chronic inflammation is the body's response to unwanted bacteria or toxins that are present in the body. Over time, chronic inflammation can cause serious conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, etc.
8 signs of Inflammation to watch out for:
Digestive Problems
Symptoms - Common digestive symptoms such as gas, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation are inflammation signs.
Feeling Tired
Symptoms - This isn't your everyday tired from doing the daily grind. this is I'm exhausted all the time no matter how much rest I get.
High Blood Sugars
Symptoms - High Blood sugar levels are a classic example of chronic inflammation in the body. If you have a fasting blood sugar over 99, you want to be concerned.
Red, itchy skin
Symptoms - Rashes, red, itchy, skin and eczema all signal that your body is inflamed.
Allergies
Symptoms - Are your eyes always watering? Are you constantly coughing and sneezing?
Inflammation also occurs when we are subjected to chemicals, irritants, or foods that we are sensitive to.
The body is trying to remove the toxins or harmful bacteria that it has been exposed to.
Apple shaped/ excess belly fat
Symptoms - Weight that is carried around the belly is a red flag that your body is fighting off some serious inflammation. Inflammatory foods and chemicals cause us to gain weight. As well as being insulin resistant.
The weight carried around your stomach is considered to be more concerning because it is visceral fat. Visceral fat accumulates around the abdominal organs and has been strongly linked to a host of serious disease risks, including heart disease, cancer and dementia.
High Blood Pressure
Symptoms - If your are constantly getting high blood pressure readings and it isn't due to White Coat Syndrome, then your body is signaling to you that you are chronically inflamed.
You are considered to have high blood pressure if you are getting readings of 130/80.
Lowering your blood pressure is key in preventing heart disease and strokes.
Swollen, bleeding gums
Symptoms - If your gums bleed when you brush or floss your teeth that means you have harmful bacteria in the blood that is causing inflammation.
You have hundreds of different groups of bacteria in your mouth. They can cause bad breath, inflammation, buildup of plaque, cavities and premature ageing.
Most people have no idea, but your gum health is a big predictor in what's really going on in the body. The bad bacteria in your mouth are correlated with thickening of the arteries which is usually a precursor to a stroke.

Beat Inflammation with Rooibos
Inflammation is a silent killer and, if left untreated, can be tied to the development of many serious diseases, like cancer and heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis.
The question though is, how are inflammation and cancer linked and is there anything that you can do to keep chronic inflammation levels low?
Inflammation is a normal physiological process that can be a helpful process in the body. When the body sustains any form of damage, the immune system launches an inflammatory response so that cells can rebuild the injured area. This is vital for helping a wound heal and preventing further damage.
But sometimes inflammation begins for other reasons and it doesn't stop. This type of inflammation is called chronic inflammation. Over time it can cause damage to cell DNA and affect the way cells grow and divide. This could lead to the growth of tumors and cancer.
