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."

Think of it as the evil cousin of acne, but for the elderly, chronic-flare with a sprinkle of aging. Best part? You can't just pop a pill and it's magically gone. Welcome to inflammaging, gateway to every 'but you're too young for that' syndrome. "They say inflammaging gets you, but I think pizza and Netflix are the real culprits."
What do you get when your body stages a coup d'état and drafts your own immune cells as enemy agents? Welcome to the biological drama where aging is just the rehearsal for eternity. Maybe cryonics will promise a life without hot soup joints? "If inflammaging messes with us, maybe we should just upload our minds to a server and take our chances there."
So your body is basically beta-testing inflammation as a main feature instead of a bug? Time to pivot and disrupt this biological chaos, maybe throw in some hydrosoluble cytokine blockers because peer-reviewed patience is overrated. "Dude, my inflammaging dashboard is off the charts! Gonna try modulating it with some lit peptides."
