Inflammation can trigger many health issues such as anxiety, cancer, and even heart diseases. It is the body’s way of self-protection by removing the harmful stimuli like damaged cells, irritants, or pathogens and to support the healing process. It is like a defence mechanism in the body – a biological reaction when something harmful affects the body. Redness, heat, swelling, pain and loss of function are some of the signs of acute inflammation.

Acne, rashes and eczema are some of the other signs of inflammation that shows on the skin. These breakouts happen when inflammation rises to the skin. Having a clear skin is a sign that inflammation is no longer a threat to you.

Inflammation causes the joints and muscles to become stiff and painful. But if you don’t experience any such pain then it means that your inflammation levels are in control.

You feel energetic
Being busy all the time and exhausted might seem normal these days but it definitely isn’t.
