About This Quiz: Inflammation
Chronic low-grade inflammation is now recognized as a root driver of nearly every major disease — from cardiovascular disease and cancer to Alzheimer's and depression. Unlike acute inflammation (which heals injuries), chronic inflammation silently damages tissues for years before symptoms appear. Understanding inflammatory pathways gives you actionable tools to protect your long-term health.
Inflammation is controllable. Unlike genetic risk factors you cannot change, inflammatory load is heavily influenced by daily choices: diet, sleep, exercise, and stress management. The Mediterranean diet, adequate omega-3 intake, regular movement, and quality sleep can reduce CRP levels by 25-40% within weeks — potentially adding years of disease-free living.
