When inflammation occurs, chemicals from the body’s white blood cells are released into the blood or affected tissues to protect your body from foreign substances. Some of the chemicals cause a leak of fluid into the tissues, resulting in swelling. This protective process may stimulate nerves and cause pain. Inflammation is the #1 cause of both acute and chronic pain. Understanding what inflammation really is is the key to reducing it, and hence maximizing your health.

There are two types of inflammation: Primary and Secondary.

Understanding these types of inflammation is the first step in treating inflammation. Primary inflammation our body’s natural process of removing toxins and rebuilding cells.

Primary inflammation occurs every day and is not associated with pain, it’s just your body working to repair itself. When primary inflammation isn’t doing its job, that is when secondary inflammation kicks in. This is the pain and swelling commonly associated with inflammation.

Pain is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong, and needs to be attended to. Secondary inflammation is also an indicator that your body’s primary inflammation is not able to keep up. So to avoid secondary inflammation, you need to increase your body’s primary inflammation abilities, so that your body is efficiently rebuilding and detoxing.

Here are some simple things you can do to increase your bodies ability to detox and rebuild to avoid the pain associated with secondary inflammation:

1. Sleep

Sleep is critical for good health across the board. When we sleep our bodies rebuild and repair themselves, so without enough time to do that, secondary inflammation begins to run rampant.

2. Omega-3

Fatty Acids Omega-3 fatty acids assist in primary inflammation functions and make our bodies much more efficient. Omega-3 supplements are readily available and easy to find. Adding them to your daily diet regimen is as easy as taking a pill.

3. Apple Cider Vinegar

ACV is a well-known anti-inflammatory that increases immune function. The immune system is key in primary inflammation, so supporting it supports your overall health.

4. Green Leafy

Vegetables The phytochemicals, nutrients, and enzymes in green leafy vegetables all support primary inflammation. They also help to reduce the effects of secondary inflammation.

5. Gut Health

80% of your immune system, which fuels primary inflammation, exists in your gut. Gut health is another critical aspect of good overall health. Supplementing your diet with probiotics is important to maintaining good gut health.

6. Hydration

Water is what fuels all of the processes in our bodies, including primary inflammation. Our cells need water to function on the most basic levels. Adding a mineral supplement to water is also a great way to support your health, and avoid bad inflammation.

7. Turmeric

Turmeric is a superfood when it comes to inflammation. Studies have been done all over the world to show turmeric’s ability to fight off secondary inflammation.

8. Ginger

Ginger is another superfood that is packed with anti-inflammatory compounds that support your body’s natural processes. You can even combine ginger, turmeric, and honey for an effective tea to treat inflammation.

9. Magnesium

Magnesium is actually the second most abundant element in human cells. Roughly 80% of the population is magnesium deficient and don’t even know it. Healthy cells are the foundation of good health, so magnesium is critical.

10. Epsom

Salt Epsom is a naturally occurring pure mineral compound composed of magnesium and sulfate, so it is an easy and effective way to get magnesium into your body. Relaxing in a hot bath with Epsom salts is an amazing boost to your health.

11. Essential Oils
