Named products that help relieve inflammation

Researchers from the State of Alabama (USA) found that using certain foods can fight inflammation. Inflammation is a normal reaction of the human body, but if the process drags on for a long time, healthy tissues are destroyed.

Inflammation is a process that occurs in a living organism in response to damage to the cellular structure, or a process aimed at eliminating irritants in the area of damage.

The main purpose of inflammatory processes is the detection and destruction of toxic substances that are formed in damaged tissues, excluding the possibility of their further spread in the body. The inflammatory process helps the body fight infection, but in the event that the process is delayed and the body's defense system goes down, healthy cells are also destroyed.

Among the destructive processes that can cause inflammation, experts pointed out that inflammation promotes obesity and the appearance of excess weight. Obesity, in turn, causes cardiovascular diseases, hypodynamia and creates favorable conditions for the development of metabolic syndrome.
