In the orthomolecular context, it is understood to occur whenever there are biochemical imbalances, nutritional deficiencies or the presence of harmful agents, and serves to eliminate, neutralize and repair cell damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong>Function of Inflammation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main function of inflammation is to promote immediate defense against aggressors and enable tissue regeneration. It mobilizes the immune system, increases local blood flow and triggers the release of chemical mediators that contribute to the fight against threats and to the body's recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong>Signs of Inflammation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The classic signs of inflammation are<br>Heat (local temperature rise)<br>Flushing (redness)<br>Tumor (swelling)<br>\u2705 Pain<br>\u2705 Loss of function<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From an integrative perspective, symptoms such as persistent fatigue, diffuse pain, discomfort or hormonal changes may reflect silent or subclinical inflammatory processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong>Why Inflammation is Fundamental<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inflammation represents protection and repair. Without it, the body would be unable to fight off invaders and restore damaged tissue. It is also crucial for removing dead or damaged cells, preventing infection and promoting healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong>Risks of Excessive or Chronic Subclinical Inflammation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The danger arises when inflammation persists chronically, especially at subclinical levels - in other words, without obvious symptoms. This state keeps the body on constant alert, producing pro-inflammatory cytokines that damage organs and accelerate ageing, as well as increasing the risk of diseases such as:<br>Diabetes<br>Cardiovascular diseases<br>Cancer<br>Cognitive changes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subclinical chronic inflammation is called the \u201csilent threat\u201d because it can trigger serious events, such as heart attacks, without prior visible signs, accounting for up to 55% of sudden death cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong>Orthomolecular and Integrative Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orthomolecular and integrative principles recommend it:<br>Individualized assessment of the biological terrain<br>Identification of nutritional imbalances and toxins<br>Correcting nutrient deficiencies (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants)<br>Lifestyle and stress modulation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These practices aim to restore balance, prevent chronic inflammation and promote health and longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inflama\u00e7\u00e3o, dentro da abordagem ortomolecular e integrativa, \u00e9 um mecanismo vital de defesa do organismo, por\u00e9m se torna perigosa quando est\u00e1 em excesso ou de forma cr\u00f4nica subcl\u00ednica.
