Chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, along with low exercise and unhealthy diet, can increase the level of inflammation in your body and contribute to cognitive decline, according to the Global Health Department. Two types of inflammation can occur due to this.
Inflammation can be a natural response that occurs due to viral infections, injuries, or diseases, and can also affect mental performance. In inflammation, the body's cells fight the infection and stop it. When these cells kill the infection, some chemicals can cause local inflammation, leading to pain or other symptoms.
According to information, during inflammation, the body's cells fight among themselves and create a habitat for infection. In this process, some chemicals are produced that cause a reaction in nearby cells. This leads to inflammation, which is often associated with pain or swelling.
Dr. Vipul Gupta, Group Director of Neurointervention at Paras Hospital in Gurugram, clarified that lifestyle factors also contribute to inflammation. He also stated that a lack of physical activity, stress, obesity, unhealthy diet, lack of sleep, air pollution, smoking, and alcohol consumption can hurt the body.
Dr. Vipul Gupta said that if someone has a fever or infection that keeps recurring, it is called inflammation. This can last for a short period. Major studies have shown that patients with arthritis, especially those who are overweight, are at a higher risk of cognitive decline or brain damage.
Dr. Vinay Tanjea, Consultant in the Medicine Department at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, stated that excessive immunity or chronic infection can cause inflammation in brain tissues, leading to neuronal and cognitive decline.
Vivek Shrivastava stated that lifestyle factors can increase the risk of inflammation in the body.
