What is the immunological theory of aging?

The immunological theory of aging suggests that aging is linked to changes in the immune system, such as decreased effectiveness of immune responses and increased inflammation. As we age, our immune system becomes less efficient at recognizing and fighting off infections, leading to a higher risk of illness and disease. This theory highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy immune system through lifestyle choices like exercise and nutrition.
