Imagine waking up every day feeling tired, bloated, or in pain without knowing why. You eat well, exercise, and try to take care of yourself, but something still feels off. This could be the hidden effects of chronic inflammation—a slow-burning fire inside your body that, over time, can lead to serious health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and even brain disorders. But what exactly is happening inside your body? Let’s break it down.
Â
Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury or infection. But with chronic inflammation, the body mistakenly believes it’s under constant attack. This triggers a continuous release of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-6, which, instead of protecting you, start harming healthy tissues.
Â
Cytokines are proteins that help regulate immune responses. In chronic inflammation, the body releases too many pro-inflammatory cytokines, disrupting normal cell functions and contributing to long-term tissue damage.
Macrophages are immune cells that help clean up cellular waste and fight infections. In chronic inflammation, they become overactive and flood the body with inflammatory signals, creating a vicious cycle of ongoing inflammation.
Chronic inflammation increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damages cells and contributes to conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s.
Inflammatory cytokines interfere with insulin signaling, making it harder for the body to process sugar efficiently. This can lead to type 2 diabetes over time.
A weakened intestinal barrier, also known as leaky gut, allows toxins and harmful substances to enter the bloodstream, triggering more inflammation. This is linked to IBS, autoimmune diseases, and food sensitivities.
Â
Inflammatory cytokines can degrade cartilage and contribute to osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, leading to joint pain, stiffness, and long-term mobility issues.
Chronic inflammation affects the brain as well. Research suggests that high levels of inflammatory cytokines can contribute to depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline.
Inflammation is a major driver of atherosclerosis, where plaque builds up in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and strokes.
