Inflammation
Inflammation
Inflammation is the process by which your body protects you from infection but unregulated becomes a disease. Symptoms include redness, swelling, pain, and stiffness. Chronic inflammation has been linked to diseases like heart disease or stroke, and may also lead to autoimmune disorders.
