Chronic inflammation is a low-grade, persistent immune response linked to modern lifestyle factors such as processed foods, stress, and poor sleep. Experts note it contributes to various health issues including heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and accelerated ageing. Symptoms can be subtle, like puffiness, joint pain, and fatigue. Blood tests such as CRP, HSCRP, and ESR help detect inflammation levels. Addressing it requires lifestyle changes focused on reducing ongoing stress and promoting recovery.
