Where there is inflammation there is pain; but it doesn’t need to be as bad as it sounds. Inflammation is our natural immune response and a self-protection mechanism. If you suffer from chronic pain, arthritis, asthma or even eczema; you could be suffering from inflammation. The key is to know the difference between the form that helps us and that harms us. Once you know what to do, it is easy to control.
炎症往往伴随着疼痛，但是它不像听起来那么糟糕。 发炎是我们身体的天然免疫反应和自我保护机制。 如果你正在受慢性疼痛，关节炎，哮喘甚至湿疹的困扰，那么你就患有炎症。关键是要知道如果区分好的和坏的炎症。一旦你知道该怎么做，它很容易控制。
What is Inflammation?
什么是炎症？
Inflammation is the body’s natural response to tissue damage from pathogens, injury or toxins; it is the basis for almost all chronic disease. Acute inflammation is incredibly beneficial for the body as it promotes healing and tissue regeneration; however, chronic inflammation can be extremely dangerous.
炎症是身体对来自病原体，损伤或毒素的组织损伤的天然反应; 它是几乎所有慢性疾病的基础。急性炎症对身体来讲是非常有益的，因为它促进愈合和组织再生; 然而，慢性炎症可能是非常危险的。
Acute inflammation is a natural response wecould not live without. Here are the key signs to look out for:
急性炎症是身体必需的一种自然反应。以下是我们要注意的一些主要症状：
Redness & Heat: Blood vessels dilate so more blood can reach the injured site.
Swelling: Increased permeability of capillaries allow cells to enter the affected tissue.
Pain: Release of chemical mediators that assist the healing process can often irritate nerves.
Loss of function:Decreased motion is a sign the body is not working as it should be.
红肿和发热：血管扩张，以便让更多的血液可以到达受伤部位。
肿胀：增加毛细血管的渗透性，使细胞进入受损的组织。
疼痛：化学介质的释放可以帮助刺激神经，帮助愈合。
功能丧失：身体乏惫是健康失衡的一个信号。
Chronic inflammation occurs when the immune system is overwhelmed by physical, environmental and mental stressors. The body goes into overdrive and begins to destroy both healthy and unhealthy cells, plus everything in between. Chronic inflammation symptoms are less severe but last longer; left untreated they can be life threatening.
当身体过度劳累，环境污染和精神压力过大时，慢性炎症就会产生于我们的免疫系统。当身体进入高负荷状态，就会开始破坏身体里健康和不健康的细胞。慢性炎症症状不是那么明显，但持续时间更长，如果未及时治疗就可能危机生命。
How to Regulate Inflammation
如何消除炎症
Simple daily changes can address the root of inflammation; it is easy once you know what to do.
简单的日常改变可以解决炎症的根源，一旦你知道解决之道，它就很容易处理了。
Reduce stress: The stress hormone cortisol regulates our inflammatory response; increased stress means more inflammation. Sleep and stress go hand in hand and cutting corners during sleep harms the body’s ability to repair itself. Focus on stress reduction by gettin gat least 8 hours of sleep, reducing technology time, staying active and practising low-impact activities such as yoga, meditation or swimming.
减少压力：应激激素皮质醇调节我们的炎症反应; 压力的增加意味着更多的炎症。 睡眠和压力是密切相关的，睡眠时间的减少会降低身体自我修复的能力。每天至少8小时的睡眠，减少胡思乱想，保持积极的心态和做一些非激烈运动，例如瑜伽，冥想和游泳，都会对减压有明显帮助。
Reduce toxins: Toxins are present in our food, home and personal care products. Toxins are absorbed through the skin and digestive tract and increase pressure on our immune system. Reduce your body’s toxic load by purchasing organic foods, non-toxic cleaning and personal care products where possible; and ensure you are familiar with any allergies present.
排毒：毒素存在于我们的食品、家庭和个人护理产品中。毒素通过皮肤和消化道吸收，增加我们免疫系统的排毒压力。 尽可能使用有机食品，无毒、洁净的个人护理产品，以减少身体对有毒物质分解过滤的负荷; 并确保您清楚的知道所有的过敏源。
Diet Matters
饮食的影响
Poor dietary choices cause inflammation. Our bodies need vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to help them repair and recover. A diet low in refined and processed food and high inplant-based foods will give you an anti-inflammatory boost needed to get on the path to recovery.
不良的饮食也会导致炎症。我们的身体需要维生素，矿物质和抗氧化剂，以帮助他们修复和恢复。粗加工食品和高植物性食品的饮食将会帮助促进消炎。
Spices have long been used to assist the body’s inflammatory response and are a staple in many households. Ginger, cinnamon and turmeric are some of nature’s oldest and most effective herbal medicines. If there ever were a life-enhancing spice, turmeric is it. Incorporating turmeric into your diet can improve more than just the colour of your latte. Turmeric is recommended for a range of conditions as it works on many inflammatory pathways. Turmeric’s primary compound curcumin prevents the activation of the key inflammation mediator and therefore decreases the likelihood of developing chronici nflammation throughout the body. Adding this powerful plant to your diet is one of the best things you can do for your overall health and wellbeing.
在许多家庭中，香料长期以来被用于帮助缓解身体的炎症反应。姜，肉桂和姜黄是大自然的最古老和最有效的草药。如果要提到一种能增强生命力的香料，那就是姜黄。姜黄在菜肴当中远远不仅是改变颜色。姜黄被推荐并使用于对抗多种炎症。姜黄的主要成分是姜黄素，可以防止炎症介质的活化，因此降低了全身发生慢性炎症的可能性。将它添加到您日常的饮食中，对您的健康是一种明智的选择。
