Inflammation and Health
Inflammation has long been portrayed as something inherently bad; a process that needs to be fought or suppressed.
However, within the body, inflammation is also an essential initial component of the immune response. Inflammation is a tightly regulated system that evolved to protect us from infection and promote healing.
The problem is not inflammation itself, but when this finely tuned biological mechanism becomes dysregulated and persistent.
Understanding when inflammation is beneficial and when it becomes harmful is fundamental not only to medicine but also to exercise science and performance nutrition.
