Hi there,

We often blame aging for symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and aching joints. But inflammation may be the real culprit, and your step count the cure.

The daily step count that cuts inflammation in half

Today, we explore inflammaging — a slow, silent inflammation that develops over time and is linked to conditions ranging from frailty to dementia and heart disease — and can actually be reversed.

Here to tell us how is Prof. Janet Lord, Director of the Institute of Inflammation and Aging at the University of Birmingham and a world leader in immune aging research.

Janet explains how inflammaging starts, why it makes you feel older than you are, and the daily habit that can keep your immune system younger for longer.

We can age on our own terms,
