I read the following article about inflammation and thought you all might be interested in their findings...

The title of the article is "The Hidden Time Bomb Within You" and it talks about the five life-changing facts to know about inflammation.
1. Inflammation is both your body's best friend -- and its worst enemy.
I don't know that I agree with this statement. Your body knows best how to deal with problems internally and externally. We are a society of instant gratification - we want everything NOW. Take a pill - all better now. Take a pill - lose all that weight now. Our bodies need time to heal properly. Inflammation is part of the natural healing process. If we have chronic inflammation, there is a deeper problem that needs to be addressed.
2. Chronic inflammation contributes to almost every major disease.
I think it is more along the lines of chronic inflammation is the warning sign of every major disease.
3. It's not the look of your body fat but what's inside it that really hurts you.
Agreed. One thing that is not addressed along with this comment (because it doesn't relate back to inflammation) is that fat cells tend to hold on to toxins. As you begin losing that necessary weight, you may find yourself getting sick more often - this is the result of the toxins being released. Make sure you are drinking lots of water to flush them out.
4. You can't control everything that trips inflammation -- but you might want to conquer that fear of public speaking.
So, it isn't public speaking but it is long term stress that can trigger inflammation.
5. Many of us have infections and allergies we don't know about, which send us into a state of constant high inflammation.
Agreed. Food allergies, environmental allergies, seasonal allergies - they all affect us differently. I got the "I don't have allergies" from my daughter the other day - and I reminded her that her body changes every seven years - just because you don't have allergies today ... or yesterday.. doesn't mean that you won't have them tomorrow. Opening windows in your home every month will help remove toxins and allergens from your home. Taking honey every day will help you with your seasonal allergies. And paying attention to what you eat - will help you discover what you are allergic to and make the proper changes.
Now.. these five are good.. but I think that they really missed the most important one - water. 70 - 80% of all adults are CHRONICALLY dehydrated. One of the first symptoms of dehydration is inflammation. Ensure that you are drinking enough water to flush out the toxins in your body.
