This is a YouTube video titled "There's More To Inflammation Than You May Know #shorts" containing a discussion between Ask AI Mark and another speaker about the complexities of inflammation related to aging, including sterile inflammation and its triggers beyond infection, recorded in December 2022.
The process of aging itself is a weird process because at the same time you're actually getting more sterile inflammation and your immune system isn't working to fight infections, you're also less able to fight cancer and have more autoimmune disease. But at the end of the day, what happens as we age is we get more inflamed. And that's what you're really finding and looking for, right?
Here I would like to just pause for a moment and make a very important distinction between inflammation as the response to an infection. And that's what we all know. In this case, we only 28 years ago started to realize that there's other types of inflammation out there. There are multiple types of inflammation. In this case, we're talking about a type of inflammation that increases with age, is sterile, the triggers of inflammation are not infectious. And they go back to things that have to do with how we age, the quality of water, the nutrition, consumption of gluten, sedentaryism, sleep quality.
