Chronic inflammation causes many diseases such as heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. When germs invade your body, your immune system sends out cells and proteins to kill them. As soon as the germs are killed, your immune system stops sending out these cells and proteins. However, if your immune system keeps sending out cells and proteins, it becomes overactive.
