Course Description
It is now well recognised that a link exists between chronic, low-grade inflammation and a wide range of medical conditions and health issues, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune conditions, arthritis, and neurodegenerative diseases.
In the short term, inflammation plays a protective role in fighting off foreign “invaders”, such as bacteria, which pose a threat to our health, however uncontrolled inflammation that persists in the long term can be detrimental to our health and drive disease processes. Damage to cells and tissues as a result of prolonged, low-grade inflammation can occur over many years before it becomes evident.
This course will take a look at what drives chronic systemic inflammation (SCI), the consequences of SCI, and what can be done to manage and prevent it
