Low Vitamin B6 Linked to Inflammation

Low levels of vitamin B6 may be a key factor involved with chronic inflammation in the body. A new study shows a strong association between chronic inflammation and the essential vitamin found in foods such as lean meats, legumes, and vegetables.

Chronic inflammation is an emerging risk factor for a wide range of health problems, including heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
