Week 7 is all about inflammation, and how to reduce it. Read now here.
Put simply, inflammation is part of the body’s immune response to injury and invasion. When your body is damaged (from a cut for example) or is exposed to a pathogen (like a virus), your immune system fights back by releasing immune cells to the site of damage. These cells help heal and protect your body by fighting off pathogens, removing dead cells, and repairing tissues.
