Claudia von Boeselager breaks down six drivers of inflamm-aging, the chronic low-grade inflammation linked to aging. Refined sugar, processed foods, chronic stress, poor sleep under seven hours, environmental toxins, EMF radiation, and chronic infections all fuel it.

Welcome to part 2 of 6 of this inflammaging series. Aging and immune dysregulation are linked to pro-inflammatory states, fueling inflammaging. Here are the key stimuli. There's 6 parts to it. Number 1 is inflammatory foods. Think of refined sugar, oils, artificial ingredients, conventional meats, and processed foods that disrupt blood sugars, hormones, and gut health, leading to inflammation. Number 2, chronic stress. Physical, psychological, and emotional stress ignite inflammaging, impacting your well-being. Number 3, poor sleep habits. Consistent lack of quality sleep, which means less than 7 hours, worsens inflammaging. Number 4, environmental toxins. Air and water pollution, plastic packaging, and more introduce harmful toxins that fuel inflammation. Number 5, EMF radiation. Think Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cell phone— all emit EMF radiation, contributing to inflammaging. And number 6 are chronic infections. Untreated infections hinder the immune system's ability to counter inflammation. Stay tuned for next week's video on on inflammaging risk factors. Don't miss out. Make sure to hit that follow button. See you next week.
