Inflammation is extremely important. It helps fight foreign invaders and plays a role in repairing damage to your body.
Although short-term acute inflammation is beneficial, it can be cause for concern if it becomes chronic and attacks your own tissues.
Scientists now believe that chronic low-grade inflammation may play a role in a number of health conditions and diseases.
These include:
* heart disease
* cancer
* metabolic syndrome
* Alzheimer’s disease
* various degenerative conditions

Here’s why anything that can help fight chronic inflammation is potentially important in preventing and helping to treat these conditions.
