5 Tips to Reduce Inflammaging

What is inflammaging?

Inflammaging is the combination of inflammation and ageing. A process that can occur when we don't nurture our skin and bodies with the nutrients they need.

When does inflammaging occur?

• when we consume processed foods
• chronic + oxidative stress
• obesity
• gut permeability
• chronic infections
• processed sugar

1. Anti-Inflammatory Ingredients - in your food

Food is the first step to reducing inflammation. What we eat plays a crucial role in managing inflammation. To combat inflammaging:

• Avoid processed foods and sugars - processed foods contain high levels of omega 6’s which are known to increase inflammation
• Incorporate nutrient dense + antioxidant-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, and nuts
• Include omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and flaxseeds
• Eat a variety of foods to feed all your different gut bacterials with good sources of complex carbs and protein in your diet
• If you don’t have time to prep or cook, Detox Kitchen provides amazing fresh meals full of hormone balancing, blood sugar friendly and anti-inflammatory meals delivered to your door step! From the likes of Cinnamon-Blueberry Oats, Cacao Waffles, Aubergine Satay Noodles, Pistachio Risotto, Katsu Curry, sweet and savoury snacks galore, and lots more. Pick from 8 meal plan options.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Ingredients - for your skin

If you are eczema, dermatitis, rosacea or acne prone, or someone just looking to look forever young and boost their collagen production, one of the most powerful ways to fight skin inflammaging is by using natural + organic skincare products with proven anti-inflammatory ingredients. A standout example is Calmandarin found in the eyeam Inflammaging Solution, derived from up-cycled mandarin skin. This clinically proven ingredient and dermatologist approved product has been shown to:

• Calm irritated skin
• Soothe inflamed and reddened skin
• Promote collagen production

3. Reduce Physical + Oxidative Stress

Chronic stress can exacerbate inflammation. Try these stress-reduction techniques:

• Practice mindfulness meditation
• Saying affirmations can help bring peace to your mind. Neuro-inflammation is linked to mental health issues like anxiety, depression and more, so finding ways to calm the mind is key.

• Daily walks or stomping your feet - Walking helps modulate cortisol (stress hormone) production! A great way to self-regulate when you're feeling overwhelmed.
• Deep Breathing - Activates your parasympathetic nervous system to break out of the fight-or-flight response that triggers cortisol, which if in chronically, will increase inflammation.
• Hot and Cold Therapy: Ice baths, cold showers/saunas - Hot and cold therapy stimulates circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes cellular repair, helping to combat the effects of inflammaging by boosting the body's natural healing processes and improving longevity.
• Engage in regular physical exercise without over doing it! Life is all about balance.
• Ensure adequate sleep (7-9 hours per night) - Lack of sleep disrupts hormones like ghrelin and leptin, which regulate hunger and fullness, leading to increased appetite and potential overeating.

4. Protect Your Skin from Sun Damage

UV radiation is a major contributor to inflammaging. To protect your skin:

• Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily 👀 maybe an eyeam one day
• Wear a In my Healing Era hat to protect your gorgeous face

5. Clever Hydration

Proper hydration is essential for maintaining skin health and reducing inflammation:

• Drink plenty of water throughout the day
• Use hydrating skincare products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid
• Consider using a humidifier in dry environments

By incorporating these tips into your daily routine and using products with proven anti-inflammatory ingredients like Calmandarin, you can effectively combat inflammaging and maintain healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
