3. Reduce Inflammation
Under normal circumstances, inflammation is a good thing for our bodies. Inflammation helps wounds heal and is a part of metabolic function. However, when inflammation gets out of control, it can have severely detrimental effects on your health.
Dietary inflammation is one of the most significant inflammatory issues facing Americans. Eating foods rich in refined carbohydrates inflames the intestinal wall of the digestive system, resulting in symptoms of bloating, gas, and cramps. Gastrointestinal inflammation can spread to other areas of the body where it causes inflammation in the joints, causing symptoms of pain in people who are suffering from the effects of arthritis.
Infection also causes inflammation, as does trauma, such as cuts and bruises – or tendonitis. Reducing inflammation is a challenge for anyone affected by any of the conditions listed above. However, supplementing with bacopa can help to reduce systemic inflammation, helping the body cope with the effects of infections, cuts, scrapes, and digestive issues by speeding up healing time.
