What effect does chronic inflammation have on the body?
When you are living with chronic inflammation, your body’s inflammatory response can eventually start affecting healthy cells, organs and tissues. Over time, this can lead to tissue death, DNA damage, and internal scarring.
All of these are linked to the development of several diseases, including:
- Heart disease
- Cancer [8]
- Type 2 diabetes [9]
- Asthma [10]
- Rheumatoid arthritis [11]
- Obesity
- Cognitive decline and dementia
