The Anti-Inflammatory Guidebook (5th Ed)

Summary

When you’re injured or ill, inflammation is your body’s response to help it heal. However, if left untreated it can lead to chronic inflammation, which can lead to more serious health problems such as heart disease, arthritis and cancer. Your best chance of beating inflammation is through a healthy diet, but managing your weight, getting enough exercise and sleep, and reducing stress levels can all help. You may associate inflammation with something like having an inflamed knee after a running injury. However, it can affect every part of your body. This book will highlight what inflammation is, the causes and symptoms, as well as how to treat it.
