Some of the reasons for chronic
inflammation are given below so that we can take preventive steps even at this
stage and see whether we can undo the harm that has been caused that made our
body go into an inflammation mode, though it is not an easy step, we need to
try. Remember everything is possible,
even cure for cancer is possible, and there is proof all over the world, but we
should believe in it:
Body is overtaxed: Although our body can
process a surprising number of toxins, as we age, as lifestyle, diet changes,
the body has to handle twice or thrice the amount of toxins that was handled
previously. May be your grandmother didn’t
have to deal with 50% of the new chemicals that you have to handle today, there
are more chemicals in our environment than ever before, from our food, beauty
product, the air, whatever you take in hand there is chemicals and also the
thought and buried emotional package that we carry through mindset. Due to all these your immune system is
exhausted and overworked. There are many
food that your body is not made to absorb or digest like gluten, wheat, refined
sugar, chemicals, additives, artificial color, processed foods, naturally all
these triggers the body’s immune response and bring the inflammatory cells to
fight and trying to clear it and in the process a continuous attack which we call
as chronic inflammation happens. In
other cases, in the process of such immune response, continuously attacking the
foreign matters, without success makes the immune system transform, mutate and
thus a never ending chronic inflammation from which there is no end.
Stress: I
would say stress is one of the top reasons that contributes to chronic
inflammation in the body. Stress plays a
big role in our health. Most of us are
always in a state of stress for various reasons and Cortisol, the main stress
hormone, is considered as one of the primary factor in the connection between
stress and disease. Although, small
amount of cortisol is helpful during a fight or flight scenario, triggering
adrenaline and helping us in sudden unexpected situations. Continuous stress causing large amount of
cortisol can slowly wear down our systems and cause big problems. Remember when you are in a stressed state
continuously which is what we all are, energy is directed away from the immune
system, digestive system and other important areas and hence when this energy
is taken away due to chronic stress, the body becomes weaker and more inflamed.
