Inflammation in the body is a common but often ignored problem. Sometimes it appears only in the form of fatigue or temporary pain, but sometimes it can also be a sign of a serious health problem. Experts say that timely identification of swelling in the body and taking precautions is very important to maintain health.

Main reasons for swelling in the body
Inflammation occurs when the body’s immune system reacts to an injury, infection, or harmful substance. In this, the affected area appears red, hot, painful or swollen. Some of the main reasons for this are:

Infection: Inflammation can be caused by bacteria, viruses or fungus.

Injury or slip: When there is any injury or damage to the tissue, the body produces swelling in that area.

Chronic disease: Inflammation is common in chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, arthritis.

Unhealthy lifestyle: Excess salt, junk food and lack of physical activity also increase inflammation.

early signs
It is important to detect swelling in the body in time. Some early signs include:

Sudden swelling in joints, hands or feet

redness or heating of the skin

feeling constantly tired or weak

sudden weight gain or facial swelling

feeling pain or stiffness

Caution and prevention

Balanced diet: Eat fruits, vegetables and omega-3 rich foods.

Reduce salt and junk food: Excess sodium and processed foods can increase inflammation.

Exercise: Regular light to moderate exercise helps control inflammation.

Adequate sleep: Lack of sleep can increase inflammation in the body.

Doctor’s advice: If swelling persists or pain and redness increase, it is important to get checked by a specialist.

Experts say that inflammation is the body’s natural defense mechanism, but if it persists for a long period, it can affect the heart, kidneys or joints. So don’t ignore early warning signs.
