How COVID Ages and Inflames Us - The Science

In this episode of The Longevity Show, Dr. Hillary Lin explores the relationship between COVID-19 and accelerated aging. She breaks down the science behind biological aging, inflammation, and how COVID-19 affects these processes, particularly highlighting epigenetic changes and telomere shortening. Dr. Lin delves into the concept of "inflammaging" and explains how COVID-induced cellular senescence can lead to long-term health issues such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders.

‍

Listeners will gain insights into practical strategies for mitigating these effects, including adopting an anti-inflammatory diet and increasing omega-3 fatty acid intake. Dr. Lin also shares personal anecdotes and emphasizes the importance of monitoring biomarkers like telomere length to support longevity post-COVID.
