What is inflammation?
Inflammation is your body's natural defence system, kicking in when you're injured or ill. It's like an internal alarm, sending immune cells to the affected area to start the healing process. While essential for recovery, the story highlights that this response can also influence your brain and mood, potentially linking to depression.
