MBC’s ‘DocuPrime,’ airing on May 17, will dive into how to escape the grip of chronic inflammation.
Inflammation starts as a defense mechanism to protect the body. However, when it persists, it turns into “chronic inflammation,” which can travel through blood vessels and trigger various diseases across the entire body.
