We hear about inflammation everywhere; inflammatory foods, anti-inflammatory diets, chronic inflammation and even “inflammaging”. But what does inflammation actually mean? In this episode, I explain what’s happening inside your body when inflammation occurs, why inflammation isn’t inherently bad, the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, and why chronic low-grade inflammation becomes particularly relevant in midlife.
