There is near universal agreement amongst health researchers that low level but continuous (chronic) inflammation in cells and tissues is a key factor in ageing itself and almost all age-related illnesses (Ref.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

So much so that longevity researchers use the term 'inflamm-ageing'<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That inflammation can be caused by excess blood sugar, malfunctioning of the immune system, environmental toxins, poor quality fats in the diet and free radical damage.<\/p>\n

An inflamed cell inhibits nutrients getting into the cell, toxins being removed from the cell and energy being produced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Why the steep increase in all these health threats after the age of say 55? Previously we might have muttered \u2013 \u201cJust getting older, what can you expect<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"But a mountain of recent research has uncovered the processes that are driving all<\/u> these age-related diseases and how to counteract them<\/strong> for a longer, healthier life.<\/p>\n

Acute (temporary) vs. Chronic (long-term) inflammation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you are bitten by an insect, suffer a bacterial infection or receive a cut, your body activates your immune system, and sends out inflammatory cells (called cytokines). Skin becomes red and often swollen by the influx of these cytokines.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s temporary, beneficial, ACUTE inflammation.<\/p>\n

Normally, the inflammatory cells attack the bacteria or heal the damaged tissue and gradually this visible inflammation subsides. But sometimes your immune system doesn\u2019t do its job fully, and internal, invisible inflammation persists. You have CHRONIC inflammation.<\/p>\n

This harmful type of inflammation is a symptom of many chronic diseases, such as:<\/p>\n
