“A new study found that using the sauna was associated with a decrease in a biomarker of inflammation (CRP) in a dose-dependent manner. The more frequent the sauna use...the more robust the effect of lowering inflammation.”

“Evidence indicates that exercise increases muscle strength, improves cardiovascular and metabolic health, and boosts mood by reducing visceral fat mass and activating a wide range of anti-inflammatory processes in the body. A key feature of many chronic diseases is inflammation, but exercise may disrupt inflammation to elicit its beneficial effects.”

“Avoiding chronic exposure to inflammation may be one of the single most important things we do for our health as we age. It turns out that byproducts of omega-3 fatty acid metabolism, called specialized pro-resolving mediators, or SPMs for short, reduce inflammation.”

“A clinical trial found a fasting-mimicking diet decreased biomarkers of inflammation in humans. In mice, the diet reversed pathologies associated with Crohn's and colitis partly by changing the gut microbiome.”

“Low-dose penicillin taken late in pregnancy and in early life increased aggression, impaired social behavior and anxiety-like behavior, increased inflammation in the brain, and led to permanent changes in the gut microbiome in mice.”

“Zinc supplementation in older adults reduces inflammation while increasing production of new immune cells and strengthening the body’s response to vaccines. Overall, zinc deficiency accelerates the aging process by impairing antioxidant production and cellular repair mechanisms, over-activating inflammatory pathways, and reducing pathogen defenses.”

“FTA: > People who experience not just positive emotions but a diversity of positive emotions appear to have lower levels of systemic inflammation, which may reduce their risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.”

“Supplementation with PQQ decreased biomarkers of inflammation and oxidation and increased markers of mitochondrial activation in a small trial in humans. Previous studies have also demonstrated that PQQ improved mitochondrial efficiency in humans.”

“The effects of lost sleep on memory may depend partly on how well brain cells control inflammation and maintain their energy supply. Researchers tested whether urolithin A, a compound made by gut microbes from food components, could protect memory in mice when given before sleep deprivation.”

“Inflammation is considered an important factor in disease progression. Although no clinical endpoints were measured in the study, the robust effects on the immune system would almost certainly improve some symptoms of muscular dystrophy.”
