Obesity is often accompanied by chronic, low-grade inflammation, wherein the body continuously releases inflammatory molecules even without infection or injury. This inflammatory state is mainly due to excess adipose tissue, which secretes cytokines and other compounds that contribute to insulin resistance and increase susceptibility to conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. Obesity-induced inflammation disrupts normal bodily functions, causing a cascade of health issues, including atherosclerosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Reducing obesity-related inflammation is achievable through weight loss, dietary modifications, and regular exercise, all of which help restore metabolic balance. Addressing inflammation alongside obesity is essential for preventing long-term complications and improving overall health outcomes.
