WHAT IS INFLAMMATION?

Inflammation is your body’s first line of defense against infection and injury. Inflammation is normally a good thing and is part of your healing process. Normally this process will shut down after it's done its job and healing occurs.
However, when cells are not communicating properly trouble can arise with the inflammation process getting stuck "on" and doesn't get the signal to stop.
This is dangerous when the signals to the cells aren't communicating. Inflammation can turn on your own body, attacking healthy cells and tissues instead of its job to protect them. When this happens, it's called chronic inflammation.
Most people don't realize that you can develop chronic inflammation anywhere in the body — including the brain, however, unlike an injury or most diseases that end with ""itis"" think as arthritis, dermatitis, colitis, brain inflammation doesn't cause any pain as it has no pain receptors but that means there could be hidden damage to your most vital organ.
Chronic Inflammation is known as a silent killer since it contributes to seven of the top ten leading causes of death. What's been of study lately is what this inflammation could mean to your brain and mental capacity. Inflammation will shut down energy production in brain cells and slow down communication which causes mental fatigue, fog, lack of clarity, anxiety, and possibly depression as recent studies are indicating.
Our Brain supports Immune Health (1)
"Multiple areas of the brain have cells that primarily support immune function by surging into action under the direction of REDOX molecules, in response to certain challenges from pathogens, like germs and toxins. Our white blood cells have receptors and neuropeptides that allow the immune cells to understand what needs to be done. Or in other words, the white blood cells analyze the germ and respond with an appropriate attack. REDOX molecules represent the language and the conversations that these cells use to discuss their battle plans." (1-www.theredoxdoc.com)

Two ways you can reduce inflammation:
Eating and Anti-Inflammatory Diet
Cut back on pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids found in vegetable oils such as canola, soy, corn, and safflower oil.
Eliminate Processed Carbohydrates That Contain Sugar and Wheat
Supplement Your Cells
Drink Asea Redox Cell Signaling Molecules to activate the genetic pathways proven to reduce inflammation and do so every day (4-8 oz) as reducing inflammation is a continuum not a one-time event.
