Contest: "Inflammation"

Greetings to all Steemian friends. I hope everyone is well, and Alhamdulillah, I am fine too. Today I will participate in a nice contest in the Healthy Steem Community titled "Inflammation". Big thanks to @khursheedanwar for organizing an educational health contest.

What is inflammation?

Inflammation is our body's defence mechanism. When there is an infection or injury in our body, the body's immune system creates inflammation to increase blood circulation and fight against bacteria or germs. Inflammation is a complex biological process that manifests as the destruction of blood vessels and various cells or tissues in the body. Symptoms of inflammation are pain, redness, swelling, heat etc. Inflammation is generally of two types, acute and chronic. Acute inflammation usually gets better within a few days, while chronic inflammation takes longer to heal and requires treatment.

Inflammation causes?

Inflammation occurs in our body due to various reasons. The causes are discussed below:

Environment: Inflammation can also be caused by toxic environments or polluting metal objects.

There are various ways or treatments to prevent inflammation. I have presented it below:

• Eat healthy food, such as fatty acid-rich food, vegetables, fruits etc. On the other hand, fatty, greasy, processed foods should be avoided.
• Physical exercise can contribute to the prevention of inflammation, but the stage of inflammation must be understood.
• The inflamed area should be given adequate rest and cold water can be applied.
• Avoid exposure to chemicals.
• Inflammation can be prevented by various therapies.
• Inflammation can be cured by taking medicine as per the doctor's advice.
• Should get enough sleep and be free from stress.
• Green tea, ginger, turmeric, etc. have anti-inflammatory properties, so consumption of these can help relieve inflammation.
