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
“our body’s natural response” assumes that our body was designed perfectly. It was not. Evolution is not survival of the fittest, it’s more like – survival of the one that can live long enough to procreate. So the inflammation is ok for some dangers we have faced but we now have better ways to treat injury/illness.
