So, could oxidative stress be an underpinning mechanism in these conditions? Research published last year found evidence of increased oxidative st

Chronic inflammation is a hidden contributor to many modern health conditions. Inflammation is a natural and necessary part of the immune response, however problems arise when it continues long-term. This low-level, ongoing immune activation can gradually damage tissues and organs, contributing to fatigue, joint pain and many aspects of health. Here we describe what is meant by an anti-inflammatory diet, which foods to choose, and which to avoid
