Anti-inflammatory properties

Anti-inflammatory properties refer to the ability of certain substances—like medications, foods, or natural compounds—to reduce inflammation in the body. Inflammation is the immune system's response to injury or infection, which can cause redness, swelling, heat, and pain. Chronic inflammation can lead to various health issues, such as heart disease and arthritis. Substances with anti-inflammatory properties help alleviate these symptoms and may promote healing by calming the immune response, thus supporting overall health and well-being. Examples include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), turmeric, ginger, and omega-3 fatty acids found in fish.
