Chronic 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.
