Inflammation and the Immune System
The immune system should protect us, but modern lifestyles often make it overactive.
This overactivity leads to various inflammatory diseases like allergies, autoimmune issues, and cancer.

Inflammaging
"Inflammaging" is chronic, low-grade inflammation, unlike acute infections.
It's triggered by toxins, allergens, and a disrupted microbiome, not infections.

Dietary Changes for Reducing Inflammation
Avoid inflammatory foods like processed foods, refined sugars, and conventional dairy.
Gluten can also be inflammatory due to modern wheat production; try heirloom gluten if you don't have celiac disease.

It is crucially important to take steps (even small ones) daily to support your immune system and inflammation levels—so you can live longer, better. Unfortunately, our modern diets and lifestyles have created an environment of chronic inflammation, or “inflammaging.” While inflammation itself is life saving and extremely important in acute situations, inflammaging can cause significant issues.
In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I am talking all about inflammaging and how this continual, low-grade inflammation becomes the root of many, if not all, chronic conditions.
