Inflammation isn’t always bad – it’s your body’s defence system. But not all inflammation looks the same 👇
1️⃣ Acute Inflammation – Fast & Furious ⚡ Your body’s first-aid team rushing in after a cut, sprain, or infection. Redness, heat, swelling, and pain appear suddenly – but usually settle within days. 🥦 Nutrition tip: Support healing with vitamin C–rich foods like citrus and berries to help tissue repair.
2️⃣ Subacute Inflammation – The Slow Burn 🔥 This stage lingers between 2–6 weeks. The fire isn’t out yet, but it’s no longer raging. The body is still repairing and rebuilding. 🥑 Nutrition tip: Add omega-3 fats from fish, walnuts, or flaxseeds to keep inflammation under control.
3️⃣ Chronic Inflammation – When the Fire Smoulders 🌪️ The troublemaker. Can last months or years, often silently. Linked to arthritis, gut issues, and heart disease – it’s like a spark that never dies out. 🍵 Nutrition tip: Focus on an anti-inflammatory pattern – plenty of colourful veggies, herbs (like turmeric & ginger), and less processed foods, sugar, and alcohol.
