Inflammation is vital and a natural part of our body’s response to injury and infection. Without inflammation, wounds would fester, and infections could quickly become deadly. We can have too much of a good thing though, and inflammation that goes on too long can become problematic. Chronic inflammation is linked to several medical conditions such as Alzheimer’s Disease, heart disease and stroke, cancer, asthma, auto-immune disorders, and type 2 diabetes. In this class you will learn how to naturally manage and reduce excessive inflammation through lifestyle and diet modifications.
