Why do Accidents Happen in Slow Motion?

Maybe it's happened to you.

You were driving your car on a street that was still slick from the day's rainfall. 

You turn a corner, and your rear tires lose their grip and skid away. 

At that moment, though, when you knew that you had to steer against the skidding of your car, time slowed down. 

You probably remained very calm and waited for the right moment to turn the steering wheel. 

Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. Eventually, you moved the steering wheel, and your car was on track again. 

The event probably happens in a second or two, but it feels much longer.

If this has happened to you, you're not alone.

Fighting Inflammation with Food

Why is an anti-inflammatory diet helpful?

Your immune system becomes activated when anything foreign, such as an invading microbe, plant pollen, or chemical, enters your body.

This often triggers an inflammatory response. Inflammation directed at truly threatening invaders protects your health.

But sometimes inflammation persists, day in and day out, even when you are not threatened by a foreign invader. That's when inflammation can become your enemy, and an anti-inflammatory diet is may be necessary.
