Chronic low-grade inflammation (inflammaging) accelerates biological aging, but it is possible to slow this process by avoiding certain pro-inflammatory foods.

The link between low-grade inflammation and physical decline is scientifically well established. A large meta-analysis of cohort studies (observational) published in *Frontiers* demonstrates that a diet with high pro-inflammatory potential is closely linked to physical frailty in adults. Similarly, a systematic review of meta-analyses published in *Oxford Academic* confirms that healthy dietary patterns effectively reduce markers of systemic inflammation. However, the idea that simply eliminating a few specific ingredients is enough to stop aging is slightly exaggerated. Clinical data show that it is the overall structure of the diet, rather than the exclusion of isolated foods, that dictates the body's inflammatory response. Finally, this process remains multifactorial and inseparable from other pillars of well-being such as sleep, stress management, or physical activity.
