What Are Some Inflammation Triggers?

Well, let's first start with a question, what is inflammation?, "Inflammation is a process by which the body’s white blood cells and chemicals protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses." But what triggers inflammation? That my friend can be best described this way. There are four basic triggers, one is trauma, another deficiency and stress, and don't forget good old toxins. So let's break these down in order to better understand.

When you mention the word "trauma",accidents come to mind, associated with pain and suffering as a direct result of injury. Inflammation is a natural part of the healing process. But did you know that if we don't move our bodies, such as exercising, we eventually become less able to move? Muscles and other tissues weakened, thus any movement can cause injury. It is important to keep your body moving everyday to strengthen and develop muscles and tissues in order to prevent injury.

Our cells are life, they are directly affected by everything we do right down to the foods we eat. Thus deficiencies can and do happen weakening the cells causing a chain reaction within our body, ultimately pulling the trigger of inflammation. Emotional stress can also cause inflammation. In stressful situations our brain releases chemicals that trigger the release of many inflammatory processes, and too much stress over a long period of time will cause major problems. Stress is a huge cause of inflammation.

Our bodies are swimming in toxins. Let's face it we live in a toxic world, it's every where you turn, and in every breath we take. Toxins created inside our bodies and outside, there is seemingly no escape from inflammation producing poison.
Our bodies are truly amazing as it can respond to trauma, deficiency, stress and toxins with inflammation. As mentioned inflammation is the bodies natural healing process, but where it all goes wrong is with runaway inflammation wherein the body can't shut it down causing auto immune diseases and so much more.
