Eight natural anti-inflammatory measures, that may prevent disease – or as some say dis-ease!
22 August 2022
The word inflammation is often associated with temporary pain due to an injury, allergic reaction or muscle strain for example. In fact, some of the most serious chronic medical conditions are a form of inflammation, usually caused by oxidative stress. Including cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s Disease.
If you have a medical diagnosis linked to an inflammatory condition, it is likely to end in ‘itis’ which is Latin for inflammation. For instance, appendicitis, colitis (colon), cystitis (bladder), gingivitis (gums), pericarditis (the sac surrounding the heart), gastritis (stomach), and mastitis (breasts).
Then, of course, severe allergic reactions and asthma are also inflammatory responses.
