Inflammation is the body’s natural defense against infections and harmful threats. However, when inflammation becomes chronic, it weakens the immune system’s ability to fight bacteria and viruses effectively. Persistent inflammation can also damage healthy cells and tissues, accelerating the aging process. Researchers suggest that immune health and immune aging may predict life expectancy more accurately than chronological age. Chronic inflammation contributes to serious long-term conditions, creating 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 issues.
