Inflammation is the bodys attempt to protect itself by removing harmful substances as part of the bodys immune response.

It releases chemicals from the bodys white blood cells into the blood or affected tissues.

The process is essential for our infections, wounds and damaged tissue to heal.

However, if the inflammation becomes chronic - lasting for several months or years - it can cause problems.

Indeed, it can trigger a number of well known diseases and conditions.

Asthma

Its a condition where breathing becomes difficult, causing shortness of breath and chest tightness.

Inflammation of the air passages results in a temporary narrowing of the airways that carry oxygen to the lungs.

Rheumatoid arthritis

The conditions symptoms are caused by inflammation, triggering redness, swelling, warmth and pain.

Its initially triggered by a substance that gets into the joints that the body is trying to kill off.

Sinusitis

Its an inflammation and swelling of the tissue lining of the sinuses.

Normally they are filled with air, but if they become blocked with fluid, germs can trigger an infection.

Tuberculosis

Its an infectious bacterial disease that tends to affect the lungs.

Research has found inflammation to be behind its growth.

Periodontitis

It literally means: inflammation around the tooth

Its a common disease triggered by bacteria and local inflammation triggered by those bacteria.
