'Inflammaging' Is a Lifestyle Phenomenon, Not a Universal Aging Trait
- Inflammation is your body’s defense response to injury, infection, or stress. While helpful when temporary, chronic low-grade inflammation over time damages tissues and raises disease risk
- Chronic inflammation has become so widespread with age in modern societies that scientists now call this pattern “inflammaging,” a slow-burning immune response tied to nearly every major chronic disease
- Chronic inflammation isn’t an inevitable part of aging. A new study found that indigenous adults had high but consistent levels of inflammation that did not worsen with age or lead to chronic disease
- The findings challenge the idea that inflammation is harmful by default. Instead, they highlight how environmental context determines whether inflammation promotes healing or drives degeneration
- Strategies to reduce chronic inflammation include removing modern stressors like seed oils, toxins, EMFs, and gut-disrupting foods while reinforcing protective inputs like whole food, sunlight, sleep, and movement
