Inflammation is normally a good thing, enabling our bodies to ward off disease-causing bacteria and viruses, such as when we catch a cold or the flu, or get a splinter in our finger.

However an overactive inflammatory response may contribute to a number medical disorders, including the symptoms of aging.

Research studies over the last 10 years are now showing that chronic inflammation, whether due to physical or prolonged emotional stress, may be the engine that drives many of the most feared illnesses of middle and old age like:

• heart disease
• Alzheimer's
• cancer
• stiff, aching joints
• constant back pain
• chronic unexplained headaches
• exhaustion
• chronic fatigue
• brain fog
• severe depression
• lack of libido
