Inflammation serves as the body’s natural response to infections and harmful threats. However, when it becomes chronic, it decreases the immune system’s ability to fight bacteria and viruses efficiently. Persistent inflammation can also damage healthy cells and tissues, speeding up the aging process. Research shows that immune health and immune aging may predict life expectancy more accurately than chronological age. Chronic inflammation plays a role in serious long-term conditions, forming a harmful cycle of disease and weakened immunity. Gum disease, a chronic inflammatory condition, has been strongly linked to cardiovascular disease and other systemic health problems.
