The bodies natural response to an injury is to produce inflammation. I would assume thats the bodies response from milleniums of evolution so it serves a purpose in the healing of the injury? But the general consensus is once injured we do everything we can to reduce inflammation. I don’t understand and am obviously missing info / intepreting info wrong. ELI5
Or am I on the right track and this is why RICE isn’t recommended as much any more and heat is?
In: Biology
Inflammation describes a process (activation of immune system broadly speaking) that is entirely normal and fine, but if it happens too much or too intensely then it can sometimes be a problem.
Pop culture has completely demonized inflammation as only a bad thing, but without it, you’d never heal from anything. It’s not as simple as ALL Inflammation is bad.
