“The foods we eat can determine how likely we are to develop certain diseases and strengthen our immunity; therefore, it is essential to focus on a healthier diet.”
Nayara warns that a large part of the population lives with an inflamed body and this is to raise public awareness. “Inflammation acts as a natural response of the body in cases of infection, injury or exposure to harmful substances. It works as a warning for the body to take action to fight a threat or external agent. However, sometimes, the threat does not exist not even and the body functions as if it were there, in a permanent state of alert. This type of inflammation, called chronic, is usually linked to bad lifestyle habits, such as excessive consumption of ultra-processed foods, unregulated sleep, smoking and constant stress,” he says.
A says it’s crucial to know what the signs of an inflamed body are, as they can indicate underlying imbalances and issues that need to be addressed. “Joint pain, swelling, digestive problems, tiredness, depression, anxiety, insomnia, weakened immune system and mood changes are common in case of inflammation,” concludes the specialist.
