Healing Chronic Inflammation With Natural Remedies And Recipes

Chronic inflammation raises concern and typically sticks around way past its welcome healing period and should be cause for concern. There are two types of inflammation: 

• acute – helpful
• when chronic – problematic.

Within this page I’ll be explaining, the differences in their helpful lifesaving immune response and how it can become problematic, even deadly in some cases. Still, do you know inflammation is part of your body’s natural and healthy immune response? 

I know, I know, inflammation is usually thought of as something bad, but it helps the body fight off illnesses and can actually protect you from harm. 

Arthritis

Over three years ago I’ve had to deal with arthritis in both my hands. I even had to have surgery in the palm of my right hand and an inflammation injection into my left middle finger that was both very painful and shocking to the whole system of my body.

The injection treatment had me bawling like a baby.

Now my knees are hurting more. I’m wondering is it the return to exercising after over a year of pandemic and not being active as usual or is it the beginning of something else.

What Are The Differences In Acute And Chronic Inflammation?

• Acute inflammation is short-term and is your body’s natural immune response to tissue damage or to a foreign body that could cause infections.
  
  Think of it this way. You see inflammation in action when the skin around your cut becomes red and swollen. In this case it is beneficial in its healing but if your body is constantly exposed or fighting off infections or injuries it ceases to help and starts to harm.
  
  This is the normal response to your body’s recovery. How long this recovery aid takes depends on the injury or infection location and is typically short lived.



• Chronic inflammation can be a health risk and is cause for concern. The human body, no one’s body, is meant to be chronically inflamed, though everyone is different.
  
  This condition, chronic inflammation, occurs when you have an infection or when it is a response to disturbances to the tissues of your body.
  
  Which can then have you experiencing damages to the artery walls caused by high blood pressure or high cholesterol, along with intra-abdominal fat, which secretes inflammatory chemicals.
  
  Some of the other chronic conditions are rheumatoid arthritis, stress, a diet full of hydrogenated fats, toxins and radiation. Over time it can lead to DNA damage, tissue death and even internal scarring.

How Does Inflammation Work In The Body?

Within your blood there are levels of inflammatory chemicals, and it rises in response to stressors to the body. It alerts the body that it is under attack, or something is wrong and set off a chain of events that creates a flood of inflammation.

Remember at the initial start of an infection, inflammation is part of the beneficial healing process.

White blood cells release its chemicals as a protective measure, where in this case it is plaque. When it is overwhelmed, the plaque may burst open and flows into the bloodstream. The white blood cells, the inflammatory chemicals at work, sends out a distress signal triggering a clotting response.

When the blood clots in the artery a heart attack or stroke can occur.

Why Is Chronic Inflammation Dangerous?

In the case of high blood pressure or high cholesterol chronic inflammation accelerates the growth of plaque in your artery walls which makes that plaque less stable. That plaque can suddenly burst open creating a block.

It also contributes to insulin resistance raising the risk of diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, lung disease and even cancer.

Chronic Inflammation Prevention Strategies

Stop the inflaming process and start treating your existing chronic health issue and/or infections. That means you taking control.

Ginger

An anti-inflammatory diet should be a variety of foods that are rich in nutrients, providing a wide range of antioxidants, containing healthful fats, lean protein, and spices – like ginger, probiotics and prebiotics, tea and some herbs.

All play an important part in the fight against unwanted inflammatory conditions. 

Think of non-GMO, whole foods high in antioxidants like blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, cacao, artichokes, red cabbage, pinto beans, broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, acorn and butternut squash, among others.

In general, these are pretty good guidelines to live by. These anti-inflammatory guidelines are all part a plaque removing program that have your arteries naturally cleaning themselves.

How about you getting at least six hours of sleep each night. This is a great body rejuvenator and natural healing system at work.
