You have probably heard people talking about inflammation, but may be wondering what exactly is it? Reducing chronic inflammation can have huge results on menopause because it can bring about more energy and less fatigue, more mental clarity, slow down the aging process, and lead to better overall health and longevity, and better weight management.
Inflammation is a function of your body trying to heal itself. It's a common, natural, response to injury, pain, illness, and stress. Acute inflammation can manifest as redness, heat, swelling and pain. Without inflammation, injuries would never heal, so this type of inflammation is useful to the body.
However, the other type of inflammation, chronic low grade inflammation continues to last and does not have a purpose in health. It damages the body and can be the cause of premature aging, aches and pains, and illnesses including heart disease, cancer, strokes, and Alzheimer's.
