ketosis and inflammation

Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the body primarily uses fats as its main source of energy instead of carbohydrates. This occurs when carbohydrate intake is low, and the liver produces ketones from fat breakdown. Inflammation is a natural response of the body's immune system to protect against injury and fight off infections. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the affected area. Inflammation can be acute, occurring for a short duration, or chronic, lasting for a prolonged period. It plays a crucial role in healing but can also contribute to various diseases if excessive or prolonged.
