How To Reduce Inflammation<\/h1>\n

One of the healthiest ways to reduce inflammation does not come from a pharmacy shelf but from your own refrigerator. By following an anti-inflammatory diet, you can naturally fight inflammation and support healing. As Dr. Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, explains, \u201cMany studies show that components of foods and drinks may have anti-inflammatory effects.\u201d At PDR Physical Therapy & Wellness Center in Mount Prospect, we believe that maintaining a healthy diet, together with regular movement, plays an essential role in treatment and helps speed up recovery.<\/p>\n

Why inflammation isn\u2019t always the enemy<\/h2>\n

Inflammation helps the body fight illness and protects it from harm. In many cases, it is a necessary part of the healing process. However, when the immune system stops working as it should, inflammation can become long-lasting or return repeatedly. Instead of protecting the body, it begins to damage it. As a result, major diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and Alzheimer\u2019s have all been linked to chronic inflammation. Choosing the wrong foods can make inflammation worse. On the other hand, eating meals rich in anti-inflammatory ingredients is one of the best ways to reduce inflammation<\/em> and lower your long-term health risks.<\/p>\n
