What Is Inflammation, Really?

Not all inflammation is bad — it helps your body fight off infections and heal wounds. But when it sticks around too long, it can quietly damage your cells and contribute to symptoms like:

  • Joint pain & stiffness
  • Bloating & gut issues
  • Brain fog & low energy
  • Skin flare-ups
  • Blood sugar crashes

The good news? What you eat can help calm it down.
