The Silent Fire of Inflammation
Inflammation is a complex biological process involving various immune cells, signaling molecules, and blood vessels. While it serves as a protective mechanism, it can become chronic or excessive, leading to tissue damage and contributing to various health conditions. This "silent fire" can go unnoticed but significantly impacts health. Essentially, any situation where the immune system reacts—whether to food particles, a pathogen, injury —can involve inflammation, manifesting as many everyday common symptoms.
