Think low grade inflammation is a minor issue? Think again. There are long term health risks if you're not careful.
When you hear the word ‘inflammation’ you’ll probably think of an area that has been swollen through some type of trauma.
Your body responds to an injury by sending immune cells, hormones, and proteins to the area, which encourages the area to heal and prevents bacteria from infecting it.
But, there is also a long term health risk linked with low grade inflammation.

Inflammation is a sign that your body is working properly.
It will usually happen quickly after trauma and subside again in a few days.
But low grade inflammation, which is often referred to as chronic inflammation, is different.
In fact, you could view low grade inflammation as more of a response to wear and tear instead of trauma.
Your body responds to any threat or perceived threat by sending an inflammatory response.
When the threat is not actually real the white blood cells have nothing to do.
In some cases, they can actually attack your own organs and healthy tissues.
In other instances the threat is real but you’re not aware of it.
The inflammation can be persistent, but it is a sign that there is something wrong, and you should get it checked out.

Primary Causes of Low Grade Inflammation
When your body sends white blood cells and other compounds to a specific site it is responding correctly; either you have a trauma or you have an issue that you need to know about.
Of course, a doctor will help to diagnose your issue but knowing the most common causes of low grade inflammation and how to deal with them will help you to relieve the issue without the need for prescription medicines.
Diet-Induced Low Grade Inflammation
You may be surprised to learn that your diet can play a huge part in your risk of low grade inflammation.
A poor diet is likely to give you an unhealthy gut, which can lead to depression, chronic pain, and autoimmune disorders.
Your gut is effectively a barrier between the external and your internal body; failing to look after it by adopting an unhealthy diet will damage the intestinal lining and cause inflammation of your gut.
Research suggests that low grade inflammation and gut health are linked.

- Processed meats
- Sugary food and drink
- White bread
- White pasta
- Trans fats – generally found in fried food
- Gluten
- Processed snack food
- Artificial Sweeteners
It may seem like ALL carbs are bad. They're not, but definitely watch out for these 4!
