Inflamm-aging is defined as chronic low-grade inflammation without apparent infection. When the immune system is overstimulated by having to handle more than it can for long periods, the aging body is no longer able to control its immune sytem responses well and low-grade chronic inflammation results. This is even seen in younger people under a lot of stress, who feel tired and unable to meet life's challenges well.
Dietary changes and lifestyle modifications can reduce low-grade inflammation to restore resiliance, and a more youthful vitality.
Eating anti-inflammatory foods such as leafy greens, berries, nuts, olive oil, and wild caught salmon, while avoiding ultra-processed foods, sugary snacks, and fried items is one positive thing you can do. The best foods to reduce inflammaging are those rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and polyphenols, like herbs, spices and berries.
Minerals are also essential for vibrant health because they are depleted by stress, but necessary in so many functions of the body, including cycles of clearing away old cells. Magnesium, selenium and iodine are some of the minerals key to vitality.
Lifestyle modifications like engaging in regular walking and physical activity, quitting smoking, and practicing natural therapies make a big difference. Read more about some of these.
