Dietary Inflammation

Meaning

Dietary inflammation refers to the systemic, low-grade inflammatory state within the body that is chronically provoked or exacerbated by the regular consumption of specific food components or an overall imbalanced macronutrient intake. This is not an acute, protective immune response but a sustained activation of inflammatory pathways driven by dietary choices, which can negatively impact cellular function and hormonal signaling. Recognizing and mitigating this chronic state is fundamental to preventative health and wellness.
