How to tame chronic inflammation

Some inflammation is helpful, but too much can do more harm than good. These days, chronic inflammation is linked to a wide range of health conditions, from joint pain and digestive issues to heart disease and fatigue. So how do you know whether chronic inflammation is contributing to your health concerns — and what can you do about it?

On this episode of Health Matters, we talk with rheumatologist Dr. Vanessa Kronzer about what drives inflammation, how we can do a better job preventing and treating it, and steps we can all take to help reduce inflammation in our bodies.
