Inflammaging: What It Is & Why It Matters

Does your body feel chronically tired, achy, and inflamed? Perhaps, you are even noticing lines, wrinkles, dullness, and sagging on your skin. It could be inflammaging.

What Is Inflammaging?


Simply put, inflammaging is inflammation + aging. Inflammaging is the slow buildup of inflammation in the body as we age, often triggered by stress, pollution, diet & lifestyle.


According to a study in Nature Medicine, approximately 35% of American adults are impacted by chronic inflammation that accelerates aging.


As we come in contact with environmental stressors (e.g., pollution, processed food, high-stress living, lack of sleep), the body responds at a cellular level by increasing inflammation. This often does not go away without support.


Free radicals attack the cells needed for repair, vitality, and defense. This results in oxidative stress, damage to skin cells, and toxic buildup.

How Is It Linked To Longevity?


Inflammation during an illness or injury is both normal and, in most cases, beneficial to the body’s healing process. However, when inflammation results in premature aging, it’s the body’s way of signaling that it’s out of balance.


Inflammaging can accelerate the visible signs of aging as well as that feeling that “something just isn’t right” with your body. Cells work harder, but without the proper energy, nutrients, and hormonal support. As a result, they become damaged over time, leaving your skin depleted and body inflamed.


Over sustained periods of inflammaging, cellular longevity comes into question.


According to Harvard Health Publishing, inflammaging is “a silent force behind age-related decline, making you look and feel older than your years.”
