The Hidden Danger of Inflammation: What You Need to Know

Inflammation has two sides: acute and chronic. Acute inflammation is the body’s response to injury, while chronic inflammation can lead to diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. According to Dr. Vikki Petersen, understanding the difference between these two types of inflammation is crucial for maintaining good health.

To combat chronic inflammation, Dr. Petersen recommends making lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet, proper hydration, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. Avoiding processed foods, sugar, and chemicals, as well as managing stress and toxins, can also help reduce inflammation.
