Inflammation can be debilitating.
Inflammation is your body’s response to ward off infection and disease. But, when it isn’t assisting in its intended purpose, it’s raging war on your body, igniting arthritis, cancer, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and even mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to recognize. You may blame other underlying concerns for the ailments you’re experiencing, whereas inflammation is the simple and logical answer.
Consequently, you should review this list of 4 signs of chronic inflammation to determine if you could be suffering from it.
Insulin Resistance: A direct link between insulin resistance and inflammation is yet to be established, but inflammation affects how well insulin works.
Diarrhea: Irritable bowel syndrome – often caused by Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis – reveal that you have inflammation in your gut. This inflammation could also be present in other parts of your body.
Fatigue: Fatigue is the most common symptom of long-term inflammation. If you are always tired, you could also have an underlying condition that’s causing inflammation.
Lower Back or Joint Pain: If you have back pain, but are missing an injury or strain to accompany it, that is an early sign that your body’s suffering from inflammation. If the pain persists, it’s a warning the inflammation is chronic.
If you suspect you have chronic inflammation, the only course of action would be to discuss it with your doctor. Unless you have an underlying condition, you can treat inflammation with a simple dietary and lifestyle change.
