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."

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."
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 immune system gets the magical idea to turn against you, whispering sweet nothings of inflammation as you age. But don't fear—I've been there, rebuilt from scratch, and collagen to glory; you can too! "I overcame inflammaging by essentially rebuilding my personal recipe for staying fabulous after 40!"
