Understanding Inflammation: When It Helps and When It Hurts
Inflammation is part of the body’s natural defense mechanism. It occurs when the immune system identifies harmful bacteria, pathogens, toxins, or irritants and sends a healing response. This process is essential for protecting the body and promoting recovery after injury or infection.
Acute vs. Chronic Inflammation
Believe it or not, not all inflammation is harmful. Acute inflammation is short-term and beneficial—it’s your body’s way of healing. For example, the redness and swelling after a sprained ankle or a cut is acute inflammation at work.
But when inflammation becomes long-term or unregulated, it can turn into chronic inflammation, which may contribute to a wide range of health problems.
