Abstract

The environment that surrounds us is full of threats of all kinds: bacteria, viruses, injuries or traumas, and even the food we eat daily, if it is not adequate, could become a threat. The good news is that the body is prepared for any arbitrariness that may arise and our inflammation is one of the main responses of the body when facing some type of damage. The inflammatory process is made up of a series of highly complex events, so its delimitation in space and time, intensity and duration is very important, since inflammation that is not controlled in intensity and duration can cause collateral damage to neighboring tissues.

Being considered an inflammatory disease, obesity is the result of an imbalance in energy consumption, despite the fact that this type of inflammation is not like the one we normally know, since it does not show visible signs, that does not mean that it is not a threat just as important as others, since there is a constant state of release of pro-inflammatory factors the body remains on alert, even though we are not aware of it.
