“High systemic inflammation underlies processes fundamental to nearly all diseases of aging and even cancer, which is a disease of aging. This elephant in the room can’t be ignored when answering the question about diet and heart disease.”

“For decades, deficiencies in micronutrients such as magnesium and vitamin D have been linked to conditions such as depression and obesity, as well as their associated hallmarks of systemic inflammation.”

“A recent study found that smoke exposure is linked to changes in DNA methylation at 133 gene sites involved in immune regulation, cancer, and inflammation. Researchers compared blood samples from 31 people exposed to fire smoke with 29 non-exposed people who were matched by age and sex.”

“Exercise exerts beneficial effects on muscle structure while also stimulating the body's inflammatory response. Even though exercise induces an initial burst of inflammation, over time, the net result is a decrease in chronic inflammation.”

“A certain type of bacteria found in the small intestine (E. gallinarum) can travel to other organs and initiate the production of auto-antibodies and inflammation which both play a role in autoimmune disease.”

“Telomeres serve as protective buffers against DNA loss during DNA replication and DNA damage caused by inflammation, reactive oxygen species, and other chemical compounds. Telomere shortening is linked to biological aging because it promotes cell death, or, worse, it promotes alternative lengthening of telomeres – a harbinger of cancer.”

“While exercise is known to curb the risk of many types of cancer, scientists don't fully understand its effects on Lynch syndrome. A recent study found that regular exercise reduced inflammation and boosted immune surveillance in people with Lynch syndrome.”

“Chronic inflammation is a dominant feature in people who have depression, suggesting that an overactive immune response drives the disease's symptoms.”

“Physical activity, sleep, light exposure, heat, and certain nutrients may all affect systems involved in mood regulation, including inflammation, circadian rhythms, neuroplasticity, and brain energy metabolism. In this Aliquot, Drs.”

“Overnutrition often leads to obesity and inflammation, with the gut being a powerful driver of the inflammatory process. Studies of centenarians suggest that lower levels of inflammation are associated with longevity.”
