Let's talk about inflammation.

Not sure if you ever looked at what inflammation really is.

Is it just like swelling a blood?

Is it a concentration of immune cells?

Is that what inflammation is?

Or maybe it's just free radicals

that are creating kind of a fire in your body.

And why does inflammation lead to cancer and insulin resistance?

And why does it go from an acute phase

to a chronic phase where it can basically last your whole life?

That's weird.

So let's talk about that.

So there's two things involved with inflammation.

One is an infection and two is an injury.

Okay.

Now both of those responses are being influenced by your immune system.

And so the immune system is activated and does the work

for both an infection and an injury.

Now you wouldn't think the immune system is

what comes in there and does the magic with injuries.

But it does.

There's a repair action where the cells have to clean up all the debris.
