Guide To The Causes Of Chronic Inflammation

Obesity 

One of the most common causes of chronic inflammation is obesity. Obesity-related inflammation is a known cause of many life-threatening conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancerous tumors. Adipose tissue is believed to be the source of these problems. This tissue reacts to overnutrition by creating inflammation as part of an immune response. This process may play a role in the insulin resistance scenario responsible for causing diabetes. Due to this, many new therapies to treat diabetes are focusing on obesity-related inflammation. 

There is also evidence indicating that an imbalance of gut microbiota, the microorganisms naturally found in the digestive tract, contribute to obesity and the inflammatory disorders associated with it. Some of these microorganisms produce short-chain fatty acids. These are metabolites known for causing weight loss. An imbalance in gut microbiota can reduce these healthy acids, ultimately leading to weight gain and chronic inflammatory conditions.
