Definition
The chronic, low-grade inflammation that develops with age and contributes to most age-related diseases. A portmanteau of "inflammation" and "aging." Your immune system slowly turns against you.
Example
"High CRP levels are a marker of inflammaging—your body is fighting a war with no enemy."

Your body's slow-burn apocalypse where inflammation and aging form the ultimate power couple. Remember, mitigate lifestyle risks with scientifically-backed protocols before considering innovative, yet uncharted paths. "Inflammaging, or the embarrassing reason we can't stop tissues from throwing parties they weren't invited to."
Back in my day, we just called it 'getting old,' but now folks have a fancy word for their raging joints. Seems like the body's way of telling you it preferred your younger self before you made important life choices. "Inflammaging, huh? We called it 'good living' until you needed a cane.'"
Imagine your aging body inviting inflammation and saying, 'Hey buddy, let's ruin everything together.' It's like having a roommate who sets fire to your living room and calls it 'candle ambiance.' "Inflammaging? Sounds like a buzzword they invented when 'middle-aged pain fest' didn't test well."
