Did you know that chronic inflammation can often be an underlying factor for numerous health conditions, including: heart disease, atherosclerosis, and autoimmune conditions? Inflammation is the body’s immune system signal to heal and repair damaged tissue in response to injury, infection, stress, and toxins. Chronic inflammation occurs when people are under stress, worry a lot, or have lifestyle habits that have a negative impact on the body—eating unhealthy foods, drinking too much alcohol or sugary beverages, getting very little physical activity, for example. The body is unable to purge these chemicals, so they stay in the system and build up as inflammation. Through the appropriate diet and lifestyle, combined with proven mindfulness and breathing techniques, you can greatly reduce inflammation within your body-mind complex.
