Many people think of inflammation as something that happens when you get a sprain, bump or bruise and it swells up. However, that is not the only type of inflammation. The much more deadly kind of inflammation is chronic inflammation, which has been shown to lead to chronic illness. The reality of it is, many of these conditions can be prevented.
An article on inflammation quoted one doctor as saying, “One in two of us have a chronic illness, and seven out of 10 deaths are caused by chronic disease, which means we have chronic inflammation.” These diseases start with a poor diet, which in turn, leads to inflammation.
