How Inflammation Affects Your Health
Inflammation is a natural response of your immune system to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or toxic compounds. Acute inflammation helps your body heal by fighting infections and promoting tissue repair. Examples include redness, heat, swelling, and pain at the site of injury. When inflammation becomes chronic, it can contribute to several health problems. Chronic inflammation may last for months or even years. This prolonged state can disrupt the balance in your body.
Some conditions linked to chronic inflammation include heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease. It can also be related to certain cancers. The changes caused by chronic inflammation may damage your cells and tissues. For instance, it can lead to artery plaque buildup, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
