When inflammation affects your mood more than you think
Share
It is easy to believe that our mood depends solely on personality.
That some are more sensitive. More impatient. A bit more “on edge.”
But often it is not primarily about who you are.
It is about what your body is carrying.
Perhaps you recognize this:
You actually wake up feeling fine.
And yet the day can change quickly.
By lunchtime you feel more tired. Shorter in tone. Easier to become irritated. Cravings sneak in.
As if the body reacts before the mind has time to understand why.
And this is where many are surprised:
This can be a sign of silent inflammation.
What exactly is “silent inflammation”?
When you hear the word inflammation, you might think of pain and something acute.
But inflammation does not have to be so dramatic.
Silent inflammation can be low-grade and diffuse – like a body that is always a little on alert.
You may notice it as:
- more tiredness than usual
- lower stress tolerance
- increased irritability
- cravings
- low energy
- a body that “overreacts” to small things
Not because you are weak.
But because your system is overloaded.
Inflammation also affects the brain
When inflammation increases in the body, it often affects the stress hormones.
The body becomes more sensitive. The brain looks for problems, not calm.
That is why many experience that inflammation is not only in the body but also affects the mood:
Less patience. More restlessness. More “I can’t take it anymore right now.”
You do not become a different person.
You just become more overloaded.
What can you do?
The good thing is that your body often responds to small, consistent signals.
You do not need an extreme cleanse.
Often it is about a simple restart that supports the body in the right direction.
Here are three things many start with for 7 days:
1. Protein for breakfast
Protein stabilizes blood sugar and gives the nervous system a calmer start to the day.
2. Omega-3 every day
Omega-3 fatty acids are important building blocks for cell membranes and play a central role in the body’s inflammatory balance.
It is also among the most well-documented nutrients when it comes to support for both brain, heart, and general health.

3. A little less ultra-processed food
When your body gets fewer triggers, it has more room to regulate itself.
Less stress for the system.
That is why omega-3 can make a difference
Omega-3 (EPA and DHA) contributes to:
- normal heart function
- normal brain function
- normal vision
with a daily intake of at least 250 mg EPA/DHA, in line with EFSA-approved health claims.
For many, this is one of the most important steps:
To support the body from within, so the nervous system has a little more calm to work with.
Our Omega-3 Krill – your support in everyday life
Aarja Health’s Omega-3 Krill is based on pure krill oil from Antarctica, which also naturally contains choline and astaxanthin.
Krill oil is bound to phospholipids, which gives high bioavailability and effective absorption compared to traditional fish oil.
Many also find it easier to digest, with less fishy aftertaste because it blends more easily with stomach acid than traditional fish oil.
Astaxanthin acts as a natural antioxidant that protects omega-3 fatty acids from oxidation.
This makes it a simple and complete omega-3 supplement for those who want daily support from within – especially during periods when the body feels more reactive than usual.

A week can be enough to feel a difference
You do not need to fix everything.
Just give the body one clear direction.
And see what happens when the body gets better conditions to work.
Good luck 💛
Supplements should not replace a varied diet and a healthy way of life.
