Inflammation helps fight infection of any kind. You know fever? That's your body heating up to wean off infection.
When you tear a muscle or a tendon, inflammation helps blood to flow into the affected areas, speeding up the healing process.
Inflammation is one of the tools your immune system has to keep you in good health. Too much of it can have bad side-effects though, which is why we need to keep it under control.
