Article states that GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic may reduce inflammation, which can provide other benefits beyond weight loss, and that "There’s also increasing evidence that inflammation affects dementia and, more broadly, aging itself"

It also states that we can't rid ourselves of inflammation, and it has benefits too. It's a tricky issue that we need to understand better.
