We recognize inflammation as redness, heat, swelling and pain. It is a natural healing response to bring nourishment and immunity to an injury or infection. When the inflammation serves no purpose and refuses to go away, it causes illness. Some of the things that contribute to inflammation include stress, lack of exercise, dietary choices, genetics and exposure to toxins (like secondhand tobacco smoke, prescription drugs like steroids and NSAID’s and metals). Learning how to adjust dietary choices is one of the best ways to deal with chronic inflammation. There is a blood test that detects inflammation. You should talk to your doctor and have them check your CRP or C-reactive protein (a protein that is found in the blood and is the major red flag for inflammation). Day 18
