What is Inflammation?

Inflammation is part of the immune response. So to be chronically inflamed is when the immune system is over-responding and, therefore, can be categorized the same way as an autoimmune disease.

The way inflammation is part of the immunity and the immune response is explained in the following quotation.

Inflammation is your body’s way of defending itself against bacteria, viruses, or damaged cells, and it occurs naturally as part of the natural healing process. The inflammation, which can cause you a lot of pain and discomfort, is removing the harmful pathogens from your body.

A rapid inflammation, in response to a broken bone, or a viral infection, can cause swelling for a few days and dissipate quickly.

This inflammation is helping your body heal itself, and it’s not a bad thing. However, if you suffer from a chronic and ongoing inflammation, it’s a sign that your body isn’t healing itself, and you’ll struggle with chronic pain and stress. – Sound Sleep Medical

Getting poor sleep increases inflammation. Stress increases inflammation.

Why is this?

These two things are not a virus or other pathogens. The answer is that the immune system perceives poor sleep and stress as a type of attack on the body, and the immune system is alert through these two examples.

Those with poor sleep and stress are at very high risk for chronic inflammation. Furthermore, these things are all interactive. So a person with chronic inflammation will have a problem sleeping. Moreover, it does not take chronic sleep deprivation to cause inflammation, and one night will cause inflammation to rise, as is explained in the following quotation.
