The Importance of Immune Support in Aging

As individuals age, the functionality of their immune system can decline, leading to increased vulnerability to infections and diseases. Chronic inflammation, often termed 'inflammaging', becomes a significant concern as it begins in early adulthood and exacerbates health issues later in life. Research has shown that maintaining a healthy immune response is crucial in combating age-related diseases, including cancer. The podcast delves into the need for strategies to rejuvenate the immune system to sustain optimal health as one ages.
