Signs Your Chronic Inflammation Requires Attention

For many years, we have associated inflammation with arthritic conditions. Perhaps that is because it is the most tangible source of inflammation – you can see and feel the pain of a swollen joint. But inflammation is not just about what you see or feel. It is also about what is going on in your cells long before outward signs emerge.

Your body requires some level of inflammation as part of the normal process of living. Inflammation is a natural response your body uses to protect itself, fight off infection and speed up healing. You've experienced your body's inflammatory response if you've ever had a fever, a sore throat with swollen glands, or an infected cut that's become red and warm to the touch. This is a typical (acute) inflammatory response, a sign your body's immune system is resolving the problem. Once the infection has cleared, the inflammatory signals return to normal

However, too much inflammation can create imbalances in the body and is characterized as "chronic inflammation." Chronic inflammation can take years to manifest into disease. Chronic inflammation occurs when your immune system continues to produce inflammatory markers, prompting your white blood cells to attack healthy tissues and organs. Chronic inflammation generally "flies" below the threshold of pain and visible symptoms but wreaks havoc on the body, causing very challenging diseases.

• Chronic inflammation is recognized as a contributing factor to heart disease by increasing C-reactive protein, increasing the risk of atherosclerosis.
• Inflammation impacts diabetes by causing more insulin resistance, worsening diabetes symptoms and, in some cases, can also be the root cause of the first stages of Type II Diabetes.
• Uncontrolled chronic inflammation is now recognized as a predominant factor in Alzheimer's disease due to the sustained immune response in the brain, causing brain "macrophages" to overproduce cells and affect the healing process of brain cells.
• Digestive and bowel disorders are often caused by inflammation (leaky gut syndrome, IBS, colitis, Crohn's).
• Other chronic diseases include lung disorders, whereby the inflammatory response causes fluid to accumulate in the lungs, narrowing the breathing pathways.
• The most obvious signs of chronic inflammation are the various forms of arthritis because you can visibly see the effects and feel the pain. However, other symptoms of chronic inflammation could include skin rashes, eye inflammation, hair loss, dry mouth and difficulty losing weight (negatively influencing hunger signals and slowing down metabolism

Signs Your Chronic Inflammation Needs Attention

• Imbalance & dizziness
• Consistent brain fog with no clear diagnosis
• Muscle Weakness & Joint Pain
• Cardiovascular disease (arteriosclerosis)
• Blood Clotting disorders
• Autoimmune disorders

Managing Inflammation Requires Long-Term Commitment

Managing inflammation requires healing at the cellular level. Science & medical intervention treats the symptoms of chronic inflammation and the diseases that result from inflammation, but managing inflammation requires reducing the inflammation at the cellular level.

Herbal supplements also show great promise in reducing the body's chronic inflammatory response. Curcumin is the most recognized and researched for its ability to inhibit the body's production of inflammatory-signalling compounds. Using curcumin supplements can help slow the body's production of eicosanoids (inflammatory compounds) to bring levels back to normal. As a result, chronic systemic inflammation in the body significantly decreases. The healing benefits of Curcumin are very dependent on the raw materials used in the product and how they are processed to ensure the product is bioavailable (how much you absorb). Natural Factors has a full line of curcumin-based products to support the various forms of inflammation affecting your body.
