Definition
The chronic, low-grade inflammation that develops with age and contributes to most age-related diseases. A portmanteau of "inflammation" and "aging." Your immune system slowly turns against you.
Example
"High CRP levels are a marker of inflammaging—your body is fighting a war with no enemy."

Your body's slow-burn apocalypse where inflammation and aging form the ultimate power couple. Remember, mitigate lifestyle risks with scientifically-backed protocols before considering innovative, yet uncharted paths. "Inflammaging, or the embarrassing reason we can't stop tissues from throwing parties they weren't invited to."
Aging is your body's attempt to compete with forest fires—low-grade inflammation is your new personal trainer, pushing barriers without permission. But I’m still out here setting records, despite this rogue DJ in my joints playing all the wrong vibes. "Yeah, inflammaging makes it tough, but not as tough as beating 30-somethings at every 10K!"
So your immune system gets the magical idea to turn against you, whispering sweet nothings of inflammation as you age. But don't fear—I've been there, rebuilt from scratch, and collagen to glory; you can too! "I overcame inflammaging by essentially rebuilding my personal recipe for staying fabulous after 40!"
