Are you having too much inflammation?

Inflammation happens to everyone regardless of age, often without you realising it. However, if your body has excess inflammation, it will send signals to notify you that something is amiss in your system.

Common signs of inflammation include:

  • Body pain
  • Constant fatigue
  • Insomnia
  • Anxiety
  • Gastrointestinal complications
  • Weight gain
  • Frequent infections

Inflammation: good or bad?

Inflammation comes from the Latin word for “to set on fire”.  Like fire, inflammation can serve or harm us!

It is an essential part of the body’s immune response to injuries and infective foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses. Acute inflammation occurs as the body’s natural healing process. This is a good inflammation the body employs to defend itself against foreign invaders that could otherwise cause harm. The symptoms subside once the body has healed.

On the flip side, inflammation can be bad if it persists. This condition, known as chronic inflammation, puts the body in an emergency state for a prolonged period. It can spread throughout the body and wreak havoc, leading to a myriad of serious health conditions.



What triggers inflammation?

Addressing the cause of inflammation can significantly help improve your health. The following factors can all prompt your immune response and eventually result in pro-inflammatory processes in your body.

  • Poor diet
  • Chronic stress
  • Excess weight
  • Alcohol/tobacco use
  • Environmental toxins
  • Sleep deprivation

Anti-inflammatory

Curcuminoids are known to suppress inflammation by inhibiting NF-kB, a transcription factor which triggers a cascade of undesirable inflammatory responses in the body. NF-kB is believed to play a major role in a host of chronic diseases ranging from cardiovascular diseases to cancer.

Antioxidant

Curcuminoids effectively to counteract free radicals in two ways: prevention of free radical formation; and quenching of preformed radicals.
