Do you often feel tired or find yourself struggling to perform even simple tasks? If so, this might be a sign that your body is living in a state of chronic inflammation.

Left unattended, chronic inflammation can lead to autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular symptoms, and even cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) physician Chen Junru from Jinghe Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Taiwan provides three ways to fight chronic inflammation. As a fitness coach, I will also share methods for building a fatigue-immune body.

Know the Types of Inflammation

Inflammation is an immune response, like a fire the body rolls out to burn off invading pathogens, toxins, or other injury. Acute inflammation is short term, like the swelling that comes after a bug bite. But when this immune response is triggered constantly, due to stress, or poor diet, or environmental toxins, it becomes chronic and that fire starts to burn the body out.
