“Prostate inflammation plays a major role in prostate cancer. Vitamin D is a hormone that regulates nearly 5% of the human genome and activates anti-inflammatory genes. 32 studies from January 1966 to January 2013 with more than 500,000 participants found that vitamin D blood levels between 40-60 ng/ml were associated with the lowest all-cause mortality.”

“I also think that the underlying mechanisms causing depression have a lot to do with inflammation, which can result from poor nutrition, emotional/social stress, sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep etc.”

“These include an increase in circulating levels of sex hormones, increased chronic inflammation, impaired insulin sensitivity, impaired immune surveillance and responsiveness, increased adiposity, and a dysregulated adipokine milieu.”

“> "Cigarette smoking is one of the most compelling environmental risk factors linked to the development and worsening of MS," > Results showed that smokers with MS had a greater breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, had nearly 17 percent more brain lesions -- patches of inflammation in the sheath surrounding the nerve fibers that impair their function -- than nonsmokers with MS…”

“But the real changes happened when the participants started the intervention. Regardless of diet, improvements in glucose control biomarkers and inflammation (C-reactive protein) were linked to less brain aging in the hippocampus.”

“Nutritional interventions that emphasize the consumption of spices might reduce inflammation and decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease associated with unhealthy diets. Link to study abstract.”

“The authors of the review presented data regarding zinc's role in COVID-19, respiratory viruses, pneumonia, pediatric respiratory infections, and lung inflammation. They describe robust data demonstrating that zinc adequacy supports immune function.”

“For example, evidence indicates that people who take medications to reduce fever associated with influenza are 5 percent more likely to die. Conversely, extremely high fever in the setting of systemic inflammation is harmful.”

“Half of the rats received a curcumin injection, while the other half did not. The investigators measured the animals' white blood cell counts, bacterial counts (in the bladder and urine), markers of inflammation, and expression of toll-like receptor (TLR)2 and TLR4.”
