- askvictor 2y agoIIRC the underlying assumption was that you should be reducing inflammation (RICE is almost all about reducing inflammation). Since then, we've learned that inflammation is a good thing, and helps things heal faster.
- tomjakubowski 2y agoI'm curious now if the anti-inflammatory diets popular with dietitians and health influencers could have a negative effect when you really do want inflammation, like when fighting an infection or recovering from injury. https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/quick-start-guide-to-an-antiinflammation-diet https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/quick-start-g... https://nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu/healthy-weight/diet-reviews/anti-inflammatory-diet/ https://nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu/healthy-weight/diet...
