Welcome to “Inflammation Nation,” where the bigger picture of the many factors that affect our health and well-being tends to get overlooked. Additionally, as is the case when it comes to any over-inflated wellness buzzword, there are always plenty of people and places trying to sell us the magic cure-all… anti-inflammatory granola bar, anyone? When it comes to inflammation, it’s safe to say that the implications of the word itself have gotten... over-inflamed. What do we need to pay attention to when it comes to inflammation in the body and what is just inflammatory language?
