Inflammation: Your Best Friend and Worst Enemy

Inflammation: Your Best Friend and Worst Enemy

Inflammation is the body's natural immune response to injury, infection, or other foreign substances.

If left unchecked, inflammation can lead to serious health conditions like heart disease, arthritis, cancer and more. Thankfully, there are a few ways you can help keep inflammation at bay...
