IIRC the underlying assumption was that you should be reducing inflammation (RICE is almost all about reducing inflammation). Since then, we've learned that inflammation is a good thing, and helps things heal faster.

I'm curious now if the anti-inflammatory diets popular with dietitians and health influencers could have a negative effect when you really do want inflammation, like when fighting an infection or recovering from injury.
