Inflammation and Aging

Autoimmunity and inflammation are intricately linked to aging and disease progression. Constant inflammation, driven by elevated cytokines, damages organs and accelerates biological aging. The discussion highlights the role of various interleukins and viruses, such as CMV and EBV, in this process, suggesting that many diseases may stem from poor choices rather than mere bad luck. The potential for reversing these conditions through understanding and addressing inflammation is also emphasized.
