Chronic inflammation is linked to the gut microbiome because imbalances in the gut flora, known as dysbiosis, are identified as a primary cause of systemic inflammation [1], [2]. Furthermore, the use of certain medications can disrupt the gut microbiome, leading to leaky gut and the subsequent release of toxins that trigger body-wide chronic inflammation [3], [4].

claimThe use of antibiotics, antacids, and NSAIDs should be minimized because they can harm the gut microbiome, causing inflammation in intestinal walls known as leaky gut, which releases toxins and triggers body-wide chronic inflammation.
claimMinimizing the intake of antibiotics, antacids, and NSAIDs is recommended to prevent chronic inflammation because these substances can harm the gut microbiome, causing inflammation in intestinal walls known as leaky gut, which releases toxins and triggers body-wide inflammation.

claimChronic inflammation is primarily caused by environmental factors, including daily life habits and toxin exposure, such as low physical activity, chronic stress, obesity (BMI of 30 or higher, particularly visceral fat), gut microbiome imbalance (dysbiosis), consumption of inflammatory foods (high trans fat or salt), disrupted sleep and circadian rhythm, exposure to toxins (hazardous waste, industrial chemicals), tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption.
