There are two main types of inflammation: acute and chronic inflammation.
Acute inflammation begins quickly, in a short time becomes serious, and the symptoms can last for several days, and then calm down when the cause is under control.
Chronic inflammation, on the other hand, is different. It is a slow, long -term inflammation that lasts long periods of months to years. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers chronic diseases as the greatest threat to human health. Chronic inflammation is associated with many serious diseases such as:
-
Overweight

diabetes
-
cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and stroke
-
Infections such as hepatitis C.
-
Autoimmune disease

cancer
