What is inflammation?
An inflammation is a normal reaction that the body uses, itself, to protect itself against an infection (diseases, injuries). You can recognize inflammation by signs your body sends to you, such as redness, pain, heat, and swelling. This is called acute inflammation (short term).
Example: a curvature causes inflammation (see article on body aches). A wound causes inflammation.
Now be careful, there is another type of inflammation, more serious. Endless-term, so-called "chronic". It is often silent and can lead to several serious diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular problems, or cancers. In the joints, it causes swelling and pain, such as osteoarthritis. In the intestine, inflammation disrupts the balance of useful bacteria and directly damages the intestinal mucosa. The scientwhetheric world confirms it, we speak of a silent killer.
