“However, regular cold exposure may also improve glucose and lipid metabolism, decrease inflammation, enhance immune function, and improve cognitive performance. The beneficial effects of cold exposure may be due to hormesis, a favorable biological response to a mild stressor.”

“They found that vitamin D inhibited hyperglycemia-induced NLRP3 activation and IL-1 beta production, leading to lower levels of inflammation. Further investigation revealed that vitamin D upregulated AMPK production in the cells, which likely contributed to the reduction of inflammation.”

“Methylation may also act as a biological memory of long-term exposures. Smoking, inflammation, obesity, metabolic dysfunction, infection, psychological stress, air pollution, and other stressors may leave durable regulatory marks.”

“In particular, participants exhibited higher levels of glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme that protects against oxidative stress. However, biomarkers among participants who took the placebo were associated with inflammation and cardiovascular disease.”

“Telomere length and cell senescence are closely related to inflammation and oxidative stress. Research shows that chronic physical activity suppresses inflammation and oxidative stress.”

“The risk of major depression has been shown to increase by 44% for each standard deviation increase in log c-reactive protein (inflammatory biomarker). Inflammation is caused by a variety of factors including emotional/social stress, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep, and more.”

“However, quercetin lowered inflammation — as measured by reduced CRP and IL-6 — in participants diagnosed with a disease. " Analysis of six studies involving 348 participants revealed that quercetin reduced CRP in those over 40 years, as well as those diagnosed with a disease.”

“The condition arises when uric acid crystals form in and around the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and impaired mobility. Evidence from a 2017 study suggests that beta-hydroxybutyrate inhibits the activity of the NLRP3 inflammasome, reducing symptoms of gout.”

“This is new research from Dr. Charles Raison. Check out my podcast with him to learn more about the role inflammation plays in mood disorders and how whole body hyperthermia (ie. sauna, hot bath, steam room, hot yoga) may improve depressive symptoms.”

“In a similar study in non-human primates that were fed a diet high in refined sugar (sucrose) and fat for two years, the animals experienced a 40 percent increase in arterial stiffness and inflammation.”
