Inflammation is a protective part of the body's immune response that alerts you to a potentially-harmful invader. However, it is only beneficial in low doses. When you frequently put your immune system on high alert you build up pro-inflammatory bio-markers and end up with chronic inflammation.
With certain inflammatory conditions, such as insulin resistance, diabetes, RA, arthritis, fibromyalgia, celiac or Crohn’s disease, MS, or other autoimmune diseases, the immune system’s response is inflammatory.
