Have you heard of “inflammaging”? It’s a clever way to describe how our bodies, as they age, experience a low-level, long-lasting inflammation. Think of it like a tiny, persistent fire that’s always smouldering in the background just waiting for the chance to burst into a full blown fire of disabling pain and disease.
perhaps the cause and effect are reversed
Personally, though I believe it is the other way around. From my observation, it is the inflammation that leads to the aches, pangs, pains, poor sleep, memory lapses and brain fog that are a common part of aging.
This fire might seem harmless at first, but research suggests it’s linked to many common age-related concerns like memory slips, heart issues, and maybe, even certain cancers. That’s why we combined “inflammation” and “aging” into one word – “inflammaging.”
If we are not careful, that “Fire of Inflammation” can get out of control, wreaking havoc in our life, so it is better to address it early, just like you would with any unwanted fire.
The good news is, we’re not powerless against this smoldering fire! By taking care of ourselves and understanding how to manage inflammation, we can potentially turn down the heat and keep it from impacting our health and longevity. Think of it like learning to control the flames instead of just letting them burn.
you can put out the fire of inflammation
Next time you hear about “inflammaging,” remember it’s not some scary monster, but a reminder that you need to take charge of your health and well-being, no matter your age. It’s all about finding the right tools and strategies to keep the fire in check and live our best lives!
Nutritional solutions to inflammaging.
Doctors used to swear the Hippocratic oath. Hippocrates is seen by many as the father of Western medicine and one of his most insightful concepts was
LET YOUR FOOD BE YOUR MEDICINE AND YOUR MEDICINE BE YOUR FOOD.
So of course you know deep in your guts that you have to cut out all the inflammatory foods you consume. As I write this I just deleted a huge section where I go into all the foods I believe trigger inflammation as it detracted from my mission here, but if you want to have a frank and open discussion about that, contact me.
Then you also know that there are many anti-inflammatory foods we can eat or drink. What I have found though in my discussions is that many people just don’t know how to use them in their cooking.
Then there are the ‘foods’ that PRETEND to be anti-inflammatory like the Tumeric and Ginger tea I was just given by a caring and well meaning person. Sounds good doesn’t it? The only problem is the FIRST INGREDIENT in the mix is sugar EEEK!
you can have confidence that several products in the Cerule range are anti-inflammatory, but the one specifically designed to be used just to calm whole body inflammation is CyActiv®.
Inflammation is a double-edged sword. While short-term inflammation is a necessary and healthy response to injury, recurring inflammation due to prolonged stressors can cause a healthy inflammation response to get stuck in an overactive cycle. If the body is unable to reset the balance, sustained inflammation can reduce the ability of stem cells to find affected tissues, compromising the body’s ability to self-heal.
Can CyActiv® help manage your inflammaging?
Cyactiv is a proprietary phycocyanin extract from Spirulina. Phycocyanin is the blue pigment in blue-green algae and is a potent active compound. CyActiv® is proven to help balance and calm systemic inflammation associated with a myriad of health issues. Give it a go… Balance whole-body inflammation with Cyactiv!
Cyactiv supports regulating inflammation, increasing mobility, stem cell function, and supporting a healthy lifestyle. Cyactiv balances whole-body inflammation and makes it easier for adult stem cells to find tissue for rejuvenation and repair.

Inflammaging: is it damaging YOUR wellbeing?
Similarly, inflammaging is a persistent, low-grade inflammation that can imperceptably chip-chip-chip away at our health. While not directly causing every age-related issue, it throws a wrench in the delicate machinery of our bodies. It’s like a sneaky saboteur, attacking our memory and mood, making our joints creaky, and even messing with our hearts and blood sugar. This hidden wear and tear can make us feel and appear older than our years, even if we’re otherwise healthy.
One of the worst consequences of this persistent whole-body inflammation is that it reduces the ability of stem cells to target tissues in need of repair. This can slow down or even prevent our recovery, repair and regeneration.
Fight back against inflammaging
But here’s the good news: just like we can repair infrastructure and buildings, we can fight back against inflammaging! But before we can repair anything, we need to put out the fire. Consuming CyActiv® basically helps put out the fire of inflammation allowing the repair and rejuvenation to occur much more easily.
So, next time you feel a twinge of joint pain or forget where you put your keys, remember it might not just be “getting older.” It could be a whisper of inflammaging. But remember, we’re not powerless! By taking charge of our health and managing inflammation, we can keep our inner city thriving and live our best lives, no matter our age.
