Inflammation is a hot topic these days. Acute inflammation can be helpful for protecting and healing the body after an injury or infection by improving blood flow and recruiting white blood cells to fight foreign invaders.  Although inflammation is beneficial initially, if it sticks around too long can actually be a threat to your health.    This inflammation is known as chronic inflammation.  The good news is that there are steps you can take to reduce inflammation.   Alleviate mental stress, improve your nutrition, and take care to include healthy movement.

World and life events can sometimes take a toll on our mental health.   Reducing our negative thinking and creating healthy boundaries (both interpersonal and media-based -- excess news, scrolling, and stressful environments) to protect our mental health is of utmost importance for our mental wellbeing.  Be your best encourager during this time!  What we think and feel about ourselves, others and the world has a significant impact on our expectations of outcomes in any given situation: positive or negative. This, in turn, directly affects our behavior, habits, and how we cope. Our nutrition is no improving the negative aspects of our diet and replacing with healthy anti-inflammatory alternatives can also help with our metabolism, immune system, and our overall health.
