The internal alarm of your body, known as the inflammation response, when confronted with a wound, it responds in a healing way: forming blood clots to avoid bleeding or raising body temperature to destroy bacteria infiltrated through the wound. However, there is another type of inflammation, known as chronic inflammation that stimulates disease and as a result of it, the healing blood clots can end up triggering a heart attack or stroke.
