Frequent body swelling: Repeated swelling and pain in the body can not only be the result of fatigue or mild allergies, but it can also be a sign of low-grade chronic inflammation-which goes on quietly in the body without high fever or redness. It can become the root of mental problems like heart disease, diabetes, thyroid imbalance and even brain fog. If you often feel mild swelling, fatigue in the face or feet when you get up in the morning, then ignoring it can harm your health like a slow poison.
Inflammation in the body is a common physical process that reacts with an immune system to an injury, infection or allergy. When it is for a limited time, it helps in curing the body. Chronic inflammation means long -lasting inflammation can cause many serious diseases. In this, the immune system of the body is constantly active by recognizing an internal threat and also starts attacking healthy cells. This can affect joints, skin, intestines and even heart. Long -term inflammation, diabetes, heart disease, obesity and even cancer can be associated with cancer.
Autoimmune diseases
Senior Physician Dr. Santram Verma at the district hospital of Ghaziabad says that there can be autoimmune diseases due to persistent pain and inflammation in the body. Sometimes the body’s immune system mistakenly considers its own tissue as an enemy and starts to destroy them. This condition is called autoimmune disease. Inflammation in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and multiple sclerosis persists and symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and inflammation of the organs are revealed.
Digestive problems
Gut health, ie intestinal health affects the health of our entire body. When there is disturbance in the digestive system – such as irritable bowl syndrome (IBS), leaky gut syndrome or constipation – then it causes signs of swelling in the body. Poor gut health causes difficulty in removing toxins in the body, which can increase inflammation.
Wrong catering and lifestyle
Excessive intake of fried, processed and sugar food, red meat and trans fat can increase inflammation in the body. Also, smoking, alcohol, lack of exercise, poor sleep quality and frequent stress are also the main reasons. This type of lifestyle increases the body’s inflammation markers such as CRP (C-Reactive Protein), which indicate inflammation in the body.
Allergic, infection and injury
Sometimes external causes such as food allergies, dust-soil or infection of any virus-bacteria can also cause frequent inflammation. This swelling may appear in the skin, eyes, throat or respiratory system. At the same time, instead of an old fracture or injury can also be swollen again and again if healing is not done properly.
