There seems to be a clock that controls body movement in all areas, and the most recent one is called the “inflammatory clock,” which controls the number one driver of age-related health problems, which is inflammation.

When we talk about inflammation, we automatically think of what we see on the skin, such as redness, swelling, and pain. But another type can penetrate the inside of the body carrying chemicals responsible for heart disease and cancer…

These infections cause aging, which prompts scientists to search for ways to combat and prevent them.

Therefore, a team of scientists at the University of Birmingham sought to conduct a study on how to combat these infections, which affect the heart and cause cancer, and on how to slow down or increase inflammation in the body with age, by resorting to lifestyle and potential drug therapies.

It turns out that among the potential protective factors identified by the scientists are diet, including vitamins, minerals and probiotics, as well as medications that can be used to manage inflammation, and others that lower cholesterol.

“Healthy aging has become a priority in biomedical research,” said Niharika Duggal, a doctor at the University of Birmingham’s Institute of Inflammation and Aging, and lead researcher on the study. with it…like risk of falls, cognitive aging, and an increased risk of cancer.”

Anti-inflammatory effect

Dougal indicated that vitamin D supplements may have an anti-inflammatory effect in the elderly, as well as probiotics and prebiotics.

Jessica Conway, a doctoral researcher at the Institute of Inflammation and Aging, who co-authored the study, explained, “The study looks at two distinct areas of healthy inflammation, where lifestyle is a good proposition for policymakers, and provides many benefits other than inflammation, while the second area of ​​research deals with New drugs aimed at reducing health problems during aging.
