What is Inflammation?
Inflammation is the immune system’s response to an infection, irritation or injury. It is characterized by an increase in white blood cells, heat, swelling, pain or organ dysfunction. Inflammation can be triggered by both internal and external environments, such as internal hormone imbalances or a poor diet.
Inflammation can manifest itself in different parts of the body, under different names. For example, those who suffer from asthma experience inflammation of the nose.
Inflammation can be both be acute or chronic. While acute inflammation lasts for only a few days and the response usually promotes healing, chronic inflammation interferes with your body function and physiology.
Enter magnesium!
Inflammation and Magnesium
Magnesium modulates cellular events involved in inflammation. A magnesiumimbalance causes and underpins inflammatory build ups. In other words, magnesium literally puts the chill on inflammation. Therefore, an increase in your body’s concentration of magnesium causes a decrease in the inflammatory response.
According to Dr. A. Mazur’s study on inflammation and pain management, “Magnesium deficiency induces a systematic stress” and “contributes to an exaggerated response to immune stress and oxidative stress is the consequences of the inflammatory response.”
Magnesium has proven to decrease swelling, halt and reduce inflammation and prevent the development of metabolic syndrome.
It’s a win-win! Not only will magnesium reduce current inflammation in the body, but it also helps ward off future inflammation-related illnesses.
