What is inflammation?

We all know that inflammation can be uncomfortable —and chronic inflammation is the root of all sorts of health problems, but what is it? Why does it happen?

Inflammation is nothing more than the body's immune response to harmful stimuli, such as irradiation, pathogens, damaged cells, or toxic compounds.

Our bodies act by initiating the healing process through inflammation, which is a defense mechanism vital to health.

This is why it is important to keep inflammation in line, giving our bodies the foods they need and removing harmful ones.

Chronic inflammation fuels joint problems, arthritis, asthma, dementia, heart disease, and cancer.

It can also make viral infections more problematic.

Here’s some good news: you could take your anti-inflammatory diet up a notch by drinking this delicious juice in the morning and the ancient Ayurvedic remedy Golden Milk at night or fresh broccoli juice. Another great morning-time immunity booster is our lemon, turmeric, and ginger tea.

And we're always being told to eat foods that will help reduce inflammation.

Believe it or not, these anti-inflammatory drinks can do just that! As you may know, whole foods and a plant-strong diet can make a difference.
