In today’s fast-paced and stressful lifestyle, people often take body inflammation lightly. While normal inflammation usually subsides within a few days, if it persists for a long time, it turns into Chronic Inflammation and may gradually lead to serious diseases. Senior physician Dr. Amarnath from EMC Hospital, Amritsar, warns that ignoring this condition can prove to be dangerous.
Dr. Amarnath explains that inflammation is a natural process of the body to fight injury or infection. However, when this reaction continues for months or even years, it starts damaging the body’s organs and tissues. This condition is known as chronic inflammation. Its main causes include an unhealthy lifestyle and poor diet, persistent infections or autoimmune diseases, obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, air pollution, and stress.
The doctor points out that its symptoms appear gradually, which is why people often ignore them. Constant fatigue and weakness, pain in joints and muscles, digestive problems, frequent infections, disturbed sleep, and mental instability are some of the key warning signs. If left untreated, chronic inflammation can give rise to severe conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and even neurological disorders. According to Dr. Amarnath, chronic inflammation is like a “slow fire” inside the body, silently damaging the organs over time.
Speaking about treatment and prevention, Dr. Amarnath emphasizes the importance of lifestyle changes. A balanced diet, regular exercise, yoga, meditation, adequate sleep, and stress management are crucial. Avoiding harmful habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption is equally important. He also advises not to overlook any symptoms and to consult a specialist in time, as early detection makes treatment easier and more effective.
Dr. Amarnath’s clear message is not to take even a small swelling lightly. If your body signals persistent fatigue, pain, or recurring infections, consult a specialist doctor immediately. Timely awareness and the right treatment can prevent serious health complications.
