Yet, inflammation is not necessarily a bad thing. It is actually essential for human survival. It only becomes detrimental to health when there’s constant and consistent exposure to things that trigger inflammation. Listen in to understand what “inflammaging” is all about, why this process occurs and the level of threat it poses to the morbidity and mortality of mankind.    “When we’re following a healthy lifestyle, we have more anti-inflammatory and proinflammatory activity, which allows us to age successfully.” - Dr. David Jockers   Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio   In This Episode:   - Beyond mere survival, your body needs to focus on ONE END GOAL.
