Chronic inflammation can lead to serious effects on both fitness and health, including increased risk of muscle loss and impaired recovery. When the body is in a state of chronic inflammation, it often results in a decreased ability to respond to exercise, leading to reduced performance. Furthermore, chronic inflammation is linked to various health issues such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. This inflammation disrupts normal physiological processes, hindering muscle recovery and growth, and can also contribute to fatigue and decreased energy levels, adversely affecting overall fitness.
