Gary Brecka explains why you keep getting sick: chronic inflammation from poor diet, lack of exercise, and environmental toxins suppresses your immune system. When inflammatory cytokines stay elevated, your cells can't function normally, leaving you vulnerable to illness.
If you're always getting sick, it could be due to chronic inflammation suppressing your immune system. Inflammation is regulated by your immune system, so when the body perceives a threat, it releases inflammatory cytokines to deal with the invader. Chronic inflammation occurs when these cytokines remain elevated due to ongoing stressors like poor diet, lack of exercise, or environmental toxins. A study in the journal Nature Reviews Immunology explains how chronic inflammation disrupts normal cellular functions and how it can lead to disease.
