15. Acne, Hives, or Unexplained Rashes
All of the above symptoms can have numerous causes, but most times they are based in inflammation. One of the best ways to improve circulation in the body, get the lymph system moving to fight inflammation and remove toxins, as well as improve overall skin issues, is to get regular, deep tissue massages. Most people believe that massages are something for the rich or for the indulgent, but they are actually extremely healthy for everyone.
16. Cramps
Ladies, sometimes cramps come from the menstrual cycle, but if you find that you are getting fairly regular abdominal cramps that are not related to your cycle, it is most likely due to inflammation. Gentleman, the same is true for you. If you experience regular bouts of abdominal cramps that you cannot explain, you might be suffering from inflammation. Be certain that you are eliminating trans-fats from your diet. The most common sources of trans-fats are fast food, junk foods (such as potato chips), and GMO vegetable oil or margarines made from vegetable oils.
17. Memory Issues
Most people associate memory problems or brain fog with old age, but what happens when you are well below 65 and you are experiencing these problems? It is almost certain that you have chronic inflammation. You might find a biofeedback session to be helpful. Also, be certain that you have removed all trans-fats and GMO foods from your diet.
18. Joint Pain
This is one of the most common signs of inflammation. Left untreated, it can turn into painful arthritis of the joints. To stop joint pain, eat more omega-3s through fresh fish consumption or omega-3 supplements. You should also be certain that you are getting a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate exercise at least five days each week. Be sure to target the areas where you are experiencing joint pain.

19. Fatigue
This is a common symptom in so many diseases, including chronic fatigue syndrome. However, if your doctor is unable to find the source of your ongoing fatigue, you could have chronic inflammation. In addition to many of the steps above, you should try regular sessions of meditation and deep breathing.
20. Muscle Spasms Or Twitching
Most people overlook this symptom as something they just need to learn to live with, like hiccups, but this should be a warning sign. An occasional twitch of the eye is normal, but if you suffer from regular muscle spasms, such as restless leg syndrome, or other types of twitching, you are probably suffering from chronic inflammation. Take steps to improve your diet, and practice yoga at least three days each week.
Of course, this list is not all-inclusive, but it is one important step towards safeguarding your health and avoiding the health problems chronic inflammation will cause you if not addressed.
