You might remember that
last time you were bitten by a mosquito or hurt your toe while walking and how
your body went into the healing mode and cured you by that acute inflammation. This is how our body’s immune system should
respond and then settle back and relax and only come to the scene of incident
when required. Now you are aware of such
acute inflammatory response since it is visible to you and you were also able
to take the appropriate treatment.
If you are interested in
improving your health, you probably need to know about inflammation. Nowadays every other health problems is
associated with inflammation and it makes sense because at nearly every
illness, inflammation is an initiator and driver behind the illness.
Some of the common
symptoms of inflammation is
Aches and Pains: You will know that your
body is inflamed if you regularly feel achy in your muscles, joints or all
over. When your immune cells or fat
cells produce inflammatory chemicals called cytokines, you normally will feel
heightened pain sensitivity and stiffness.
Fibromyalgia and arthritis are classic symptoms of excess inflammation, generalized
pain when getting out of bed in the morning is another symptoms, pain in the
soles of the feet is another classic sign of inflammation and there are many
other classic signs of inflammation which may vary depending on what the issue
is with your body.
Fatigue:
Fatigue is one of the typical sign of
inflammation, particularly day in and day out you feel fatigued while at work whole
day long or continuously. When your
immune cells are continuously busy secreting large volume of inflammatory chemicals
or antibodies, fatigue is the natural consequence. You need to be aware that any health
condition that cause inflammation usually results in fatigue. To understand this, think about the time you
had flu, don’t you remember having being so fatigue that you do not want to get
out of bed, yes that is the inflammation at play to heal and hence you feel
fatigued.
