WHAT IS A CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY CONDITION?
Inflammation is the normal way the body tries to protect itself, such as removing debris, irritants and pathogens from the body so you can heal. Inflammation becomes a problem when you maintain a state of inflammation. This is referred to as inflammation that is chronic. The body then produces more inflammation to try to protect itself from the existing inflammation. This leads to extreme discomfort and poor health conditions for the patient, and it is a very unhealthy cycle. The only way to correct it is to address the original problem which can be difficult to determine.
WHAT CAUSES CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY CONDITIONS
Your acquired immune system develops and changes due to exposure to your environment, becoming stronger and more immune with repeated exposure to environmental challenges. Chronic inflammation is caused by an imbalance in this immune system. Over exposure to antibiotics can weaken the immune systems ability to make its self stronger – acquiring immunities.
Today many of the foods we eat do not work well with our immune system and can work against the body instead of nourishing and building it up. Certain lifestyle also can negatively influence your immune system. Chronic Inflammation can happen because the body cannot eliminate inflammatory causes or the immune system fights against healthy tissue.
Chronic inflammation can also be the result of the body’s inability to eliminate the cause of acute inflammation or an autoimmune response where the immune system mistakes healthy tissue for unhealthy pathogens.
