Food is the body's source of fuel. Without food, major functions in the body cease as food facilitates the availability of energy for the body to perform these functions.
Inflammation is the body's natural immune response to things that may harm it. It can be a good thing when fighting off disease-causing micro-organisms when one is sick or injured.
Chronic inflammation is, however, linked to increased risks of diseases like heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. There are foods that trigger inflammation that becomes chronic with continued intake.
It is therefore important to mind what we eat in order to avoid triggering an inflammation. This is easily achieved by using an anti-inflammatory cookbook.
