Your Body has Inflammation - What Is It and What Can I Do About It?

My fellow Women business owners: A dictionary tells us that 'in·flam·ma·tion- a noun - is a localized
physical condition in which part of the body becomes reddened, swollen, hot, and often painful, especial-
ly as a reaction to injury or infection.'
I call it irritating your body till it gets red hot and creates pain to scream at you! I know because even
though I have no infection, nor have I experienced an injury, my lab tests show I have inflammation. I
have repeatedly misused my body that it is now screaming back. I have not given it enough rest with
sleep, not enough regular exercise, not eating enough of nutritious food at the right time, and not allo-
cated ME TIME!.

Our fiscal bottom line is affected because Inflammation leads to a variety of discomforts in our bodies. If
not corrected this results in disease or medical condition requiring medical care.. a hot ticket to produc-
tivity loss.

This important topic bubbled to my top list of concerns because Health Care costs have risen a phenom-
enal amount. This causes many hard-working individuals to skip routine care that over time, results in
catastrophic problems. Are there easy simple steps to feeling better? Yes of course!

The easiest way I have learned to reduce inflammation in my body is to listen to my favorite music. Some
peppy, some soothing and some just RAD to fit my mood. Even the soothing beats of a water drum al-
lows me to concentrate and write this article.

Need even more? Well, this article is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Inflammation in the
body! I have a large print tip sheet to post on the refrigerator to share with the whole family. "MrsCardi-
ology's 7 Tips a day to keep the doctor away." Grab it here: www.mrscardiology.com/7Tips There is a lot
more there to give you ‘the rest of the story... especially after the Doctor is done with your visit’.
