If something doesn\u2019t belong in the body, such as toxins or germs, inflammation is the body\u2019s way of healing. A fever, for example, is how you know that the inflammatory system is working correctly if you feel sick. That said, inflammation can harm you if it occurs in healthy tissues and sticks around for too long.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s The Difference Between Acute And Chronic Inflammation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of inflammation: acute and chronic. Acute inflammation is sudden and short-term, whereas chronic inflammation can go on for months, or even years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Acute inflammation: The immune system&#8217;s response to injury or illness usually only lasts a few hours to a few days. Inflammatory cells travel to the site of injury (a cut on your leg) or infection to begin the healing process. A bacterial infection like strep throat will cause throat inflammation. Other bacterial or viral infections can cause inflammation in the small intestine.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chronic inflammation: This happens when the body continues to send inflammatory cells when there is no danger. Rheumatoid arthritis, for example, occurs when inflammatory cells attack joint tissues. That leads to inflammation that comes and goes, damaging your joints over the years.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, you can exercise and eat the right foods, only to not feel 100%. Perhaps you feel bloated after a well-balanced meal or you cannot reach your exercise goals. Sometimes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/general-topics\/5-ways-to-fight-chronic-inflammation\/\">chronic inflammation<\/a> may result from emotional or mental factors. Anxiety, shame, stress, and trauma, can cause as much inflammation as ultra-processed foods! Continue reading to learn about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/4-major-causes-of-inflammation-that-people-ignore\/\">causes of inflammation<\/a><\/strong> that people don\u2019t talk about enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chronic Stress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the body is in a constant state of fight-or-flight, it is impossible to relax, let alone reach your health goals. Think of the body like a cellular library, with your thoughts, words, or experiences filling up those cells. When you suffer emotionally, the body feels the full effects. For some reason, a lot of people feel shame about chronic stress. Maybe they cannot be fully present when needed because they snap quickly or become irritable too easily. That shame can affect your ability to stay healthy. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/wellness-prevention\/reduce-stress-with-this-30-minute-yoga-sequence\/\">Managing stress<\/a> is not just a one-and-done thing; rather, you have to constantly work to keep stress levels in check.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Social Networks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media is highly engaging and can trap you for hours. Unfortunately, all of these accounts are not necessarily great for your mental health. What you expose yourself to can impact the nervous system and inflammatory levels, which impact the endocrine and hormonal systems. One study monitored participants who used social media excessively. The results indicated higher levels of C-reactive protein, which indicates chronic inflammation. You can scroll, but consider vetting the people or things you follow. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/5-benefits-of-doing-a-social-media-cleanse\/\">Try to edit accounts<\/a> and keep the ones that make you feel great about yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anxiety About Your Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the great things about living in this day and age is that you have a wealth of resources available to you. You can research and learn about almost anything with a few simple searches. That\u2019s also a great way to become overwhelmed and anxious about your health. This happens all the time, so much so that people stress themselves out about conditions they may not even have! Research has a name for this: the \u201cnocebo effect,\u201d which is when you ruminate about a negative outcome that can actually lead to a negative outcome. It\u2019s almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy! You basically worry yourself sick, even when there is nothing seriously wrong with you. Try not to fixate too much on numbers and health scores.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unresolved Trauma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is very difficult to move forward with your health if you have unresolved trauma that you store in the body. Some estimates suggest that nearly 70% of adults in the United States have experienced trauma in one form or another at least once in their lifetime. You may downplay your trauma, not realizing what it does to the cells in your body. Negating the trauma you went through can affect your nervous system and inflammatory levels. Not all trauma comes from catastrophic events. Some trauma is very subtle, but allowing those emotions to accumulate in the body can impact your physical health over time.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If inflammatory cells remain in the body too long, you may experience chronic inflammation, and these four causes are often discussed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":171051,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,45,50],"tags":[2082,2085,2190,2322,2339,2701,2705,3704,7825,8956,1893,9325,1898,1930,1939,2026,2028],"class_list":{"0":"post-171050","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-articles","8":"category-emotional-and-mental-health","9":"category-wellness-prevention","10":"tag-health","11":"tag-emotions","12":"tag-research","13":"tag-wellness","14":"tag-bacteria","15":"tag-healing","16":"tag-emotional-health","17":"tag-goals","18":"tag-social-media","19":"tag-anger","20":"tag-food","21":"tag-inflammation","22":"tag-mental-health","23":"tag-stress","24":"tag-infection","25":"tag-anxiety","26":"tag-exercise"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>4 Causes Of Inflammation That Are Not Often Discussed - Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies &amp;
