Inflammation is a natural response by the body to protect and heal itself from injury and infection. It is GOOD acutely and this mechanism helps you heal by sending all the good nutrients and blood flow to that area of injury/infection. With that being said, CHRONIC inflammation can occur with various health conditions. Including arthritis, heart disease, long-term musculoskeletal issues and various autoimmune diseases. This differs from that acute inflammation and can actually hinder healing.
