I see lots of foods listed as anti inflammatory but what exactly is inflamed? Are human bodies regularly inflamed? I’m just worried that it’s a pseudoscientific term.
In: Biology
Inflammation is very, very generally speaking, a localized state of alertness and damage response by the immune system (and local tissues). It’s definitely not pseudoscience.
However, loads of quacks love to push it as a vague scapegoat for all sorts of health issues, and something that *their products* can fix. Supplements and all that. You named turmeric, that’s a classic.
